In the latest Indian Jones film, Indy is supposed to throw a grenade from his car, which is going 81.0 km/h , to his enemy's car

, which is going 109 km/h . The enemy's car is 13.4 m in front of the Indy's when he lets go of the grenade.
A. If Indy throws the grenade so its initial velocity relative to him is at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, what should the magnitude of the initial velocity be? The cars are both traveling in the same direction on a level road. You can ignore air resistance.

B. Find the magnitude of the velocity relative to the earth.

Answer:

  A.  18.21 m/s  or  65.6 km/h

  B.  135.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The vertical speed of the grenade is ...

  vv = v·sin(45°) = v/√2

The time in air is given by the equation for ballistic motion:

  h = -4.9t² +vv·t = 0

  t(vv -4.9t) = 0 . . . . . factor out t

  v/√2 = 4.9t

  v = t·4.9√2 . . . . . . solve for v

__

The horizontal distance the grenade travels in t seconds is ...

  d = vh·t = v·cos(45°)·t = vt/√2 = (t·4.9√2)(t/√2) = 4.9t² . . . . meters

1 m/s = 3.6 km/h, so the horizontal distance the target travels is ...

  x = (109 - 81.0)/3.6·t + 13.4 = 70t/9 +13.4 . . . . meters in t seconds

We want the target distance to be the same as the grenade's distance, so the time required to hit the target is ...

  d = x

  4.9t² = (70/9)t +13.4

  4.9(t² -(100/63)t) = 13.4

  4.9(t -50/63)² = 13.4 +4.9(50/63)² ≈ 16.486

  t = 50/63 + √(16.486/4.9) ≈ 2.62793 . . . seconds

This corresponds to a launch speed of ...

  v = (4.9√2)t ≈ 18.21 . . . . meters/second

__

B. As we said, 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h, so the launch speed is about 65.558 km/h at an angle of 45° relative to the direction of travel. The magnitude of the velocity relative to the earth (ve) will be this vector added to 81.0 km/h in the direction of travel. The (horizontal, vertical) components of that sum are ...

  (81.0, 0) + 65.558(cos(45°), sin(45°)) ≈ (127.357, 46.357) km/h

The magnitude is the Pythagorean sum:

  ve = √(127.357² +46.357²) ≈ 135.5 . . . . km/h

6 boxes weigh the same amount. If the boxes weigh 60 pounds all together, how many pounds does each box weigh. (hElp)
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Each would equal 10 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

60 pounds all together is the weight of 6 boxes, so if you divide 60 by 6, you'll get 10 lbs for each box.

A container has 12 and 3/4 cups of lemonade .asher gives each of his classmates 7/8 of a cup of lemonade . He gives away all of
Agata [3.3K]

Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, A container has 12 and \frac{3}{4} cups of lemonade

Asher gives each of his classmates \frac{7}{8} of a cup of lemonade

To find: Number of classmates received the lemonade

From given question,

Total cups of lemonade = 12\frac{3}{4}

\rightarrow 12\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 \times 12 + 3}{4} = \frac{51}{4}

cups of lemonade received by each classmate = \frac{7}{8}

Thus, number of classmates received the lemonade can be found by dividing total cups of lemonade by cups of lemonade received by each classmate

\rightarrow \frac{\frac{51}{4}}{\frac{7}{8}}=\frac{51}{4} \times \frac{8}{7}

\rightarrow 14.57

Thus Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description. 2m2 + 3 = m.
Tpy6a [65]

The roots of the equation , 2m^{2}+3=m, are non real roots.

<h3>Discriminants are what?</h3>

The quadratic formula's discriminant is represented by the square root symbol b^{2}-4ac. If there are two solutions, one solution, or none at all, the discriminant informs us.

As of now, 2m²+3=m we need to find the kind of roots they have.

2m²+3=m

2m²-m+3=0

Here, we can derive the following values from the equation:

a = 2, b = -1, c = 3

An equation's discriminant is stated as:

D = b²-4ac

D = (-1)(-1) - 4(2)(3)

D = 1 - 24

D = -23

Discriminant can determine the kind of roots that the equation contains.

In this instance, the discriminant is below 0.

The equation's roots are complex conjugates when D < 0.

Hence the roots for the equation are non real roots.
