Answer: Smell, touch, feel, look.
Explanation:
Answer:
They will be 140 miles apart 8 hours after the first boy started the trip or 6 hours after the second boy started the trip.
Explanation:
x = the time that the first boy travels at 14 mph
x - 2 = the time the second boy travels at 14 mph
140 the distance between them
Since one travels north and the other east (their roads are perpendicular) the distance between them can be calculated using Pythagorean Theorem
(14*x)^2 + ((x-2)*14)^2 = 140^2
the solutions of the quadratic equation are
x1 = - 6 is not the solution since x > 0
x2 = 8 h is the solution
<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />
First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).
According to this, the initial velocity
has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle
:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:
<h2>
In the x-axis:
</h2>
(5)
Where:
is the distance where the brick landed
is the time in seconds
If we already know
and
, we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):
(6)
(7)
<h2>
In the y-axis:
</h2>
(8)
Where:
is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>
is the acceleration due gravity
Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:
(9)
(10)
Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:
>>>>This is the height of the building
