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.

Kobotan [32]

It is a false statement that; "Echoic sensory memory is used when a lightning bolt flashes across the sky."

<h3>What is Echoic sensory memory ?</h3>

The term Echoic sensory memory  has to do with a short term memory in which the things you hear are briefly encoded.

This memory is often held only for a very short time. Hence, it is a false statement that; "Echoic sensory memory is used when a lightning bolt flashes across the sky."

The atomic number of beryllium (Be) is 4, and the atomic number of barium (Ba) is 56. Which comparison is best supported by this
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The answer is:

B)They are in the same group because they have similar chemical properties, but they are in different periods because they have very different atomic numbers.

The explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.

A period is a horizontal row of elements on the periodic table. For example, the elements sodium ( Na ) and magnesium ( Mg ) are both in period 3. The elements astatine ( At ) and radon ( Rn ) are both in period 6.

Two liquids, A and B, have equal masses and equal initial temperatures. Each is heated for the same length of time over identica
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

Explanation:

Liquid A is hotter than the liquid B after both the liquids are heated identically for the same duration of time from the same initial temperature then according to heat equation,

Q=m.c.\Delta T

where:

m = mass of the body

c = specific heat of the body

\Delta T= change in temperature of the body

The identical heat source supplies the heat for the same amount of time then the quantity of heat supplied is also equal.

So for constant heat, constant mass the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific of heat of the liquid.

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m} \times \frac{1}{c}

\Delta T\propto\frac{1}{c}

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.
