A rocket is fired with an initial vertical velocity of 40 m/s from a launch pad 45 m high, and its height is given by the formul

N76 [4]

Answer:

1) 125 meters

2) For 9 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rocket's height is given by the formula $-5t^2+40t+45$ .

Notice that this is a quadratic.

Part 1)

Since this is a quadratic, the highest height the rocket goes will be the vertex of our quadratic. Remember that the vertex of a quadratic in standard form is:

$(-\frac{b}{2a}, f(-\frac{b}{2a}))$

So, let's identify our coefficients. The standard quadratic form is:

$ax^2+bx+c$

Therefore, in this case, our a is -5, b is 40, and c is 45.

So, let's find the x-coordinate of our vertex. Substitute 40 for b and -5 for a. This yields:

$x=\frac{-(40)}{2(-5)}$

Multiply and reduce. So:

$x=-40/-10=4$

Now, substitute 4 for t to find the height. So:

$-5(4)^2+40(4)+45$

Evaluate:

$=-5(16)+40(4)+45$

Multiply and add:

$=-80+160+45=125\text{ meters}$

Therefore, the highest the rocket goes up is 125 meters.

Part 2)

To find out for how much time the rocket is in the air, we can think about after how many seconds after launch will the rocket land.

If the rocket lands, the height h will be 0. So, we can set our expression equal to 0 and solve for t:

$-5t^2+40t+45=0$

First, let's divide everything by -5. This yields:

$t^2-8t-9=0$

We can factor:

$(t+1)(t-9)=0$

Zero Product Property:

$t+1=0\text{ or } t-9=0$

Solve for t:

$t=-1\text{ or } t=9$

In this case, since t is our time in seconds, -1 seconds does not make sense. So, we can remove -1 from our solution set.

Therefore, 9 seconds after launch, the rocket will touch the ground.

Therefore, the rocket was in the air for 9 seconds.

And we're done!

The strength of a cable is proportional to the square of its diameter. If a 2-cm cable will support 800kg, how much will a 3-cm

xz_007 [3.2K]

Strength [is proportional to] d^2
strength1/(d1)^2 = strength2/(d2)^2
800kg/(2cm)^2 = strength2/(3cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * (3 cm)^2/(2 cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 3^2/2^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 9/4
strength2 = 1800 kg

a crane lifts a pallet of concrete blocks 9 ft from the back of the truck. the truck drives away and the crane lowers the pallet

goblinko [34]

Answer:
The final position is 5 feet below the back of the truck
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- A crane lifts a pallet of concrete blocks 8 feet from the back of
a truck
- The crane lowers the pallet 13 feet after the truck drives away
- Assume that the zero level of the position of the ballet of concrete
blocks is the back of the truck
∵ The crane lifts the pallet of concrete blocks 8 feet from the back
of the truck
- That means it take the pallet from zero to 8
∴ The height of the pallet of concrete blocks is 8 feet over
the starting position
∵ The crane lowers the pallet of concrete blocks 13 feet
- That means the crane lower the pallet from the height 8 and
lift it down 13 feet, so we must to take out from the 8 feet the
13 feet to find the final position of the pallet of concrete blocks
∴ The pallet position is ⇒ 8 - 13 = -5
∴ The position of the pallet of concrete blocks is 5 feet below the
starting position which is the back of the truck
* The final position is 5 feet below the back of the truck
