X-intercept appears at when y = 0
So when cos(0.5x) = 0 -> 0.5x = pi/2 + n*pi, where n is any random integers
So x = pi + 2npi, so the angle can be pi, 3pi, 5pi, so on
Well pie is 3.14 but the square root is 1.772453851
The equation is derived from the conservation of energy, specifically from potential energy stored at a given height in a gravitational field.
When potential energy is completely converted to kinetic energy you have:
(mv^2)/2=mgh divide both sides by the mass m
v^2/2=gh multiply both sides by 2
v^2=2gh take the square root of both sides
v=√(2gh) and working with imperial units for acceleration due to gravity, g=-32ft/s^2
v=√(-64h) but the change of h as it falls is negative h so
v=-√(64h) so if an object falls from a height of 88ft we have:
v=-√(64*84)
v=-√5376
v≈-73.32 ft/sec (to the nearest hundredth of a foot per second)
Note that this is the velocity, it is negative 73.32 ft/sec.
The question inadvertently asked for velocity and provided answers for SPEED. Velocity is a vector and has both magnitude and direction, whereas speed just has magnitude.
So its final speed is 73.32 ft/sec
So if they actually wanted velocity none of their answers is correct :P
Answer:
x>18
Step-by-step explanation:
That's the answer if x can't be 18.
