S(t) = -16t^2 + 50t + 4

This equation gives us relation between time and traveled distance. That means that if we put some time we can see how much distance ball will travel or oposite from that if we have some distance to travel we can calculate how much time will it require to do so.
Second case is actually what we need for our task.

25 = -16t^2 + 50t + 4
-16t^2 +50t - 21 = 0

Now we get 2 times which is obvious because ball will reach 25 feet when it is ascending and when it is descending.

t1 = 1/2
t2 = 2,625

Both are the answers.

Answer: 0.5 seconds or 2.625 seconds

Explanation:

At t = 0, The ball is 4 ft above the ground.

The height of the football varies with time in the following way:

s(t) = -16 t² + 50 t + 4

we need to find the time in which the height would of the football would be 25 ft:

⇒25 = -16 t² + 50 t + 4

we need to solve the quadratic equation:

⇒ 16 t² - 50 t + 21 = 0

t = \frac{50 \pm \sqrt{50^2-4\times 16\times 21}}{2\times16}

⇒ t = 0.5 s or 2.625 s

Therefore, at t = 0.5 s or 2.625 s, the football would be 25 ft above the ground.

Betty weighs 400 N and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.21 m above the ground. Tom pulls the swing back an
disa [49]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

As the total energy must be conserved (neglecting air resistance) the change in gravitational potential energy, must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:

ΔE = ΔK + ΔU =0

If we take as a zero reference level for the gravitational potential energy, the height of the swing seat above the ground, (which is equal to 0.21 m), we can find the initial gravitational energy, considering the height of the point where the seat is released, regarding this point:

h₀ = 1.09 m -0.21 m = 0.88 m

⇒ U₀ = m*g*h₀ = 400 N*0.88 m = 352 J

As Uf = 0, ΔU = Uf -U₀ = -352 J

As the swing starts from rest, K₀=0, so we can say:

ΔK = Kf = \frac{1}{2} *m*vf^{2}  (1)

As ΔK = -ΔU ⇒ ΔK = 352 J (2)

From (1) and (2) we can solve for vf, as follows:

vf = \sqrt{\frac{2*352J}{40.8kg}} = 4.15 m/s

So, when the swing passes through its lowest position, Betty moves at 4.15 m/s.

If an amount of heat Q is needed to increase the temperature of a solid metal sphere of diameter D from 4°C to 7°C, the amount o
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Q = c M ΔT      where c is the heat capacity and M the mass present

Q2 / Q1 = M2 / M1    since the other factors are the same

M = ρ V     where ρ is the density

M = ρ Π (d / 2)^2           where d is the diameter of the sphere

M2 / M1 = (2 D/2)^2 / (D/2)^2 = 4

It will take 4Q heat to heat the second sphere

Amir pitches a baseball at an initial height of 6 feet with a velocity of 73 feet per second. this can be represented by the fun
Romashka [77]

The values of t are <u>4.643 second</u> for the function H(t)=-16t^2+73t+6

What is batter misses?

An out in baseball happens when the umpire declares a batter or baserunner out. A hitter or runner who is out is no longer able to score runs and must go back to the dugout until their subsequent turn at bat. The batting team's turn is over after three outs are recorded in a half-inning.

In order to signal an out, umpires typically make a fist with one hand and then flex that arm, either upward on pop flies or forward on regular plays at first base. To indicate a called strikeout, home plate umpires frequently use a "punch-out" action.When a batter is struck by a pitched ball without making a swing at it, it is referred to as a hit-by-pitch. He consequently gets first base.

We have been given that

s = 6 feet

v = 73 feet per second

Substituting these values in the formula H(t)=-16t^2+vt+s

H(t)=-16t^2+73t+6

When the ball hits the ground, the height becomes zero. Thus, H(t)=0

-16t^2+73t+6=0

We solve the equation using quadratic formula x_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Substituting the values a=-16, b= 73, c=6

t_{1,2}=\frac{-73 \pm \sqrt{(73)^2-4(-16)(6)}}{2(-16)}\\\Rightarrow t_{1,2}=\frac{-73 \pm \sqrt{5713}}{2(-16)}\\\Rightarrow t_{1,2}=-0.081, 4.643

Solve for y<br>11=y/3+7​
butalik [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

11 = y/3+7

collecting like terms

11 - 7 = y/3

4 = y/3

multiplying both sides by 3 gives us

12 = y

therefore

y = 12
