In a volleyball game, a player on one team spikes the ball over the net when the ball is 10 feet above the court. The spike driv

es the ball downward with an initial vertical velocity of 55 feet per second. How much time does the opposing team have to return the ball before it touches the court? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

4.75 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height of the ball from the ground = 10 feet

Upward initial velocity given = 55 feet per second

Value of g ( acceleration due to gravity) = 32.2 feet per s²

Motion of the ball:

The ball first goes vertically upwards, gravity decelerates the body and it momentarily comes to rest at a point in its upward trajectory, which is the point of maximum height. From this point, to the ground, the ball behaves as a freely dropped body.

Till the ball reaches its maximum height:

u = + 55

v = 0 ( final velocity is zero)

a = - 32.2 (since it is deceleration)

we know that <em>v = u + at </em>

⇒    0 = 55 - 32.2t

⇒  t = 1.7 s

Also , we have <em>s = ut + (1/2)at²</em>

Here, s is the maximum height from the point where ball is thrown

So,     s = 55(1.7) - (0.5)(32.2)(1.7)(1.7)

⇒ s = 140 feet

So at a height of 140 feet + 10 feet (initial height) = 150 feet, the ball acts as a freely dropped body.

Here,      u = 0

               a = +32.2

               s= 150

<em>s = ut + (1/2)at²</em>

⇒  150 = 0.5 ( 32.2) (t²)

⇒  t² = 300/32.2 = 9.31

⇒ t = 3.05 sec

So total time = 1.7 + 3.05 = 4.75 seconds

Answer:

(a) A = 0.00278787878787878x

(b) B = 0.00235294117647058x + 3

(c) The answers are as follows:

<u>For buying by credit card</u>

For 700 BWP: Cost = A = £1.95

For 800 BWP: Cost = A = £2.23

For 800 BWP: Cost = A = £2.79

<u>For buying from a Bureau de Change</u>

The equation (4) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: Cost = B = £4.65

For 800 BWP: Cost = B = $4.88

For 1000 BWP: Cost = B = £5.35

(d) You would have to buy 6,897.54 pulas for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) by credit card

For the exchange rate, we have:

8.25 BWP = £1 ⇒ 8.25 / 8.25 BWP = £1 / 8.25 = 1.00 BWP = £0.121212121212121

The expression can therefore be written as follows:

A = £0.121212121212121 * r * x ................. (1)

Where;

A = cost (including commission) of buying a particular number of Botswana pulas by credit card

r = commission on a credit card transaction = 2.3%, or 0.023

x = the number of pulas bought

Substituting for r into equation (1), we have:

A = £0.121212121212121 * 0.023 * x

A = 0.00278787878787878x ................. (2)

Equation (2) is the expression.

(b) from a Bureau de Change

For the exchange rate, we have

8.5 BWP = £1 ⇒ 8.5 / 8.5 BWP = £1 / 8.5 = 1.00 BWP = 0.117647058823529

B = (£0.117647058823529 * r * x) + F ................. (3)

Where;

B = cost (including commission) of buying a particular number of Botswana pulas by from a Bureau de Change.

r = commission charged by Bureau de Change. = 2%, or 0.02

x = the number of pulas bought

F = fee = £3

Substituting for r and F into equation (3), we have:

B = (£0.117647058823529 * 0.02 * x) + £3

B = 0.00235294117647058x + 3 ................. (4)

Equation (4) is the expression.

c. Evaluate each of these expressions for 700 BWP, 800 BWP, and 1000 BWP respectively.

<u>For buying by credit card</u>

The equation (2) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 700 = £1.95

For 800 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 800 = £2.23

For 800 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 1000 = £2.79

<u>For buying from a Bureau de Change</u>

The equation (4) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 700) + £3 = £1.65 + £3 = £4.65

For 800 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 800) + £3 = £1.88 + £3 = $4.88

For 1000 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 1000) + £3 = £2.35 + £3 = £5.35

d. Hazard a guess as to the number of pulas you would have to buy for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

This can be calculated by equating equations (2) and (4) and then solve for x as follows:

0.00278787878787878x = 0.00235294117647058x + 3

0.00278787878787878x - 0.00235294117647058x = 3

x(0.00278787878787878 - 0.00235294117647058) = 3

x0.0004349376114082 = 3

x = 3 / 0.0004349376114082

x = 6,897.54 pulas

Therefore, you would have to buy 6,897.54 pulas for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

Can you help me? sin 35 (degrees) Thanks!
Nata [24]
<span>OK, here's a *very* approximate "creative" method: 
</span><span>
sin(a+b)=sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b) </span>
<span>
choose a=30deg and b=5deg </span>
- sin(a)=0.5 (exact) 
- b is a small number so we say sin(b)~b (in radians). We can do a long division for this: 3.14/36 = 0.087 radians 
- similarly, for b sufficiently small, cos(b)~1 
<span>- now we only need cos(a) = sqrt(3)/2. We can approximately calculate sqrt(3) as 1.73, (by trial-and-error or better, by using the Babylonian method;  so sqrt(3)/2 = 0.865 </span>
<span>
Finally, sin(30 + 5) = (0.5 x 1) + (0.087 x 0.865) = 0.575 (calculating more digits is of no use because the sin(b)=b and cos(b)=1 are quite inaccurate approximations). </span>

<span>So that wasn't all too much effort, and we're close to the correct answer (0.574)


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
