We are given a watermelon dropped at free fall from a building 320 meters above the sidewalk. Superman is headed down at 30 meters per second. We are asked to determine how fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman. To solve for the final velocity of the watermelon, we will use one of the kinematic equations (free fall):

vf = vi + a*t

where vf is the final velocity
            vi is the initial velocity, zero
            a is the acceleration, in this case, gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
            t is time

we also need to set-up another equation using the distance:

d = vf + vi / 2 * t

(1) 320 m = vf * t /2

(2) vf = 9.8 m/s^2 * t

From here, we have two equations and two unknown, thus we can solve the problem by substitution.

The distane from the spice island to lisbon is 11431 nautical miles and it took magellan and took his crew 100 days to reach Lis
natulia [17]

Answer:

114.31 nautical miles per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

S=v\cdot t,

where S is the distance, t is time and v is rate.

If S=11431 nautical miles and t=100 days, then

v=\dfrac{11431}{100}=114.31\ \text{nautical miles per day}.

Help with number 12 and 13 And please show work so I can understand how to do it
Len [333]
13: multiply the amount by the tax rate (to make a percent a decimal move the decimal point 2 places to the left) and add the original amount and the taxed amount together. For 12 do above but then multiply the total by the tip rate and add together (basically the same as the tax again) :) I hope this helps

The highest scorer of the women's basketball championship was Jessica Bradley. She scored 114 more points than Tina Harner, her
Harman [31]

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:

Answer: Bradley scored 854 points and Harner scored 748 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by representing the problem mathematically.  "B" will represent Bradley's score, and "H" will represent Harner's score.

B+H=1602 represents that the sum of the scores is 1602.

B-H=106 represents that Bradley has 106 more points than Harner.

Now, combine the like terms in the two equations to get 2B=1708 .  Now divide each side by two to find that Bradley scored 854 points.

Now, we can just subtract Bradley's score from the total score to get Harner's score.  1602-854=748, so Harner scored 748 points.
