If an object is propelled upward from a height of 128 feet at an initial velocity of 112 feet per second, then its height h aft

er t seconds is given by the equation h equals negative 16 t squared plus 112 t plus 128. After how many seconds does the object hit the ground? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

Explanation:

The equation of motion of an object is given by :

$h(t)=-16t^2+112t+128$

Where

t is the time in seconds

We need to find the time when the object hits the ground. When the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

So,

$-16t^2+112t+128=0$

$-t^2+7t+8=0$

On solving above equation using online calculator, t = 8 seconds. So, the object hit the ground after 8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 88 ft/s . What is the height of the cliff? (Use 32 ft/s 2 for

bulgar [2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, which describe the change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled, that is,

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 +2ah$

Where,

$v_f$ = Final Velocity

$v_i$ = Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

h = height

Our values are given as,

$v_f = 88 ft/s\\v_i = 0 ft /s\\a = 32 ft/s^2\\$

Replacing we have,

$vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*h$

$88^2 = 0 + 2*32*h$

$h= 121 ft$

Therefore the height of the cliff is 121ft

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second

vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

$I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta$

Where

$\theta =$ Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

$I_0 =$ Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

$I = \frac{I_0}{2}$

Replacing we have that

$I = \frac{370}{2}$

$I = 185W/m^2$

Re-arrange the equation,

$I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta$

Re-arrange to find \theta

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})$

$\theta = 0.5282rad$

$\theta = 30.27\°$

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

As a box is pushed 30 meters across a horizontal floor by a constant horizontal force of 25 newtons, the kinetic energy of the b

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1,050 Joules

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> work done in moving the box 30 meters

work done = force X distance

= 25N X 30 = 750 Joules

<u>Step 2: </u>calculate total internal energy

Total internal energy = work done + kinetic energy

= 750 Joules + 300 Joules

= 1,050 Joules = 1.05 KJ
