What is the velocity of an object that has fallen 76 feet

1 answer:

7 0

Ignoring air resistance...

vf^2-vi^2=2gs, where vf is final velocity, vi=initial velocity, g=acceleration due to gravity, and s is the displacement of the object...

For an object being dropped, vi=0, so we have only have final velocity.

v^2=2gs

v=-√(2gs), g≈-32ft/s^2, s=-76

v=-√(2(-32)(-76))

v=-√4864

v≈ -69.74 ft/s (to nearest hundredth of a foot per second)

It's negative because the object is falling, or height is decreasing :P

A kite, flying 50 feet high in the air is attached by a string to a stake in the sand. How long is the string to the nearest ten

Vlad [161]

Height of the kite from the ground = 50 feet
Angle at which the kite is flying = 45 degrees
Let us assume the length of the string = x feet
Then
x = 50 * (square root 2)
= 50 * 1.414
= 70.7 feet
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b".

What is the 9th term of the geometric sequence 4, −20, 100, …?

sveta [45]

First, we are going to find the common ratio of our geometric sequence using the formula: $r= \frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}$ . For our sequence, we can infer that $a_{n}=-20$ and $a_{n-1}=4$ . So lets replace those values in our formula:
$r= \frac{-20}{4}$
$r=-5$

Now that we have the common ratio, lets find the explicit formula of our sequence. To do that we are going to use the formula: $a_{n}=a_{1}*r^{n-1}$ . We know that $a_{1}=4$ ; we also know for our previous calculation that $r=-5$ . So lets replace those values in our formula:
$a_{n}=4*(-5)^{n-1}$

Finally, to find the 9th therm in our sequence, we just need to replace $n$ with 9 in our explicit formula:
$a_{9}=4*(-5)^{9-1}$
$a_{9}=4*(-5)^{8}$
$a_{9}=1562500$

We can conclude that the 9th term in our geometric sequence is <span>1,562,500</span>
