A pomegranate is thrown from ground level straight up into the air at time t=0 with velocity 240 feet per second. Its height in

feet at t seconds is f(t)=-16 t^2+240 t. Find the time it hits the ground and the time it reaches its highest point. Hits the ground when t= 4 second (include units) Reaches highest point when t= 2 second (include units) Maximum height =

Answer:

a) t=15 s

b) t=7.5s

c) f(t)=900ft

Explanation:

From the exercise we have the equation of height and the initial velocity of the pomegranate

f(t)=240t-16t^{2}

a)To find the time that it hits the ground we know that its position is 0

0=240t-16t^{2}

Solving for t using quadratic equation

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

a=-16\\b=240\\c=0

t=0s or t=15s

Since time can not be 0, the answer is t=15s

b) To find the time that it reaches its highest point we need to analyze the velocity at that time

v=\frac{df}{dt}

\frac{dt}{dt}=240-32t

At the highest point its velocity is 0

0=240-32t

t=\frac{240ft/s}{32ft/s^{2} }=7.5s

c) To find the maximum height we need to use f(t) with t=7.5

f(t)=240(7.5)-16(7.5)^{2}=900ft

Can someone please explain to me in simple terms Einsteins theory of relativity, also known as time dialation?
alexira [117]

Answer:

Time dilation. Time dilation, in the theory of special relativity, the “slowing down” of a clock as determined by an observer who is in relative motion with respect to that clock.The world's most accurate clock has neatly shown how right Albert Einstein was 100 years ago, when he proposed that time is a relative concept and the higher you live above sea level the faster you should age. Einstein's theory of relativity states that time and space are not as constant as everyday life would suggest.The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.

If steam enters a turbine at 600°K and is exhausted at 200°K, calculate the efficiency of the engine.
alekssr [168]
Answer: e = 3.333% or 33 1/3%
                       ^
                  repeated

Identify the given information.
Work input (Wi)= 600 K
Work output (Wo) = 200 K

Choose which formula you should use. In this case, you are finding efficiency.
e =  (Wo/Wi) x 100%

Substitute and solve. 
e = (200 K/600 K) X 100%
e = 0.333 X 100%
e = 33.333% or 33 1/3%

Which type of motion most accurately describes the behavior of a friction -less pendulum?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B) Periodic Motion

Explanation:

When a pendulum is friction-less, i.e there are no damping forces acting on it, its motion will be periodic, i.e it will bob up and down going from potential energy to kinetic energy and back. Thus, the motion of the pendulum can be best described by the term "period motion", hence choice B.

If however, forces do act on the pendulum, and if they acts as to damp the pendulum, it will oscillate less and less as time goes by, and eventually come to a stop (in the real world this damping force is usually air resistance ). And if the force acts in such a way that it increases the oscillations, the pendulum will swing higher and higher, and the system will go haywire! :)
