A discus is thrown from a height of 3 feet with an initial velocity of 55 ft/s at an angle of 44° with the horizontal. How long

will it take for the discus to reach the ground?
I started off with 55cos(44)=40 then I made an equation 40t-16(t)=2.5 seconds? I feel like I did this wrong because I didn't add 3 feet anywhere
or do I add 3 in to 55cos(44) giving me an answer of 2.6

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
Yes, the 3 feet are important. 
<span>You can consider the datum (y=0) at 3' from the ground, and the ground is therefore at -3 feet. </span>

<span>The vertical initial velocity, vy, is u*sin(θ), so it gives </span>
<span>vy=55sin(44°)=38.21 approx. </span>

<span>The (vertical) distance travelled is given by: </span>
<span>S=vy*t-(1/2)gt² </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>S=-3 (ground) </span>
<span>vy=55sin(44°), and </span>
<span>g=32.2 ft/s² </span>
<span>Solve for t. </span>
<span>I get -0.08 and 2.45 s.</span>

Elena L [17]

Answer:

  31,536,000

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3600 seconds in an hour and 24 hours in a day, so ...

 (3600 s/h)(24 h/da) = 86400 s/da

Then in 365 days, there are ...

  (365 da)(86400 s/da) = 31,536,000 s

_____

No rounding is needed.

Josh is incorrect, he did not examine the expression correctly, therefore his answer was wrong.

Forces of 9 lbs and 13 lbs act at a 38º angle to each other. Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle that the re
fiasKO [112]

Answer: R=20.84\ lb\quad 22.57^{\circ},15.43^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two forces of 9 and 13 lbs acts 38^{\circ} angle to each other

The resultant of the two forces is given by

\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2ab\cos \theta}

Insert the values

\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{9^2+13^2+2(9)(13)\cos 38^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{81+169+184.394}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{434.394}\\\Rightarrow R=20.84\ lb

Resultant makes an angle of

\Rightarrow \alpha=\tan^{-1}\left( \dfrac{b\sin \theta}{a+b\cos \theta}\right)\\\\\text{Considering 9 lb force along the x-axis}\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =\tan^{-1}\left( \dfrac{13\sin 38^{\circ}}{9+13\cos 38^{\circ}}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{8}{19.244})\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha=22.57^{\circ}

So, the resultant makes an angle of 22.57^{\circ} with 9 lb force

Angle made with 13 lb force is 38^{\circ}-22.57^{\circ}=15.43^{\circ}

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

It measures the probability of observing your test statistic, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value, also known as the probability value <u>measures the probability of observing your test statistic, assuming the null hypothesis is true.</u>

A low p-value means a higher chance of the null hypothesis to be true.

It lies between 0 and 1. A small p-value indicates fewer chances of the null hypothesis to be true.
