Answer:

a) 138 ft

b) 4.62 s

c) 1.375 s

d) 168.25 ft

Explanation:

The height of a rock (thrown from the top of a bridge) above the level of water surface as it varies with time when thrown is given in the question as

h = f(t) = -16t² + 44t + 138

with t in seconds, and h in feet

a) The bridge's height above the water.

At t=0 s, the rock is at the level of the Bridge's height.

At t = 0,

h = 0 + 0 + 138 = 138 ft

b) How many seconds after being thrown does the rock hit the water?

The rock hits the water surface when h = 0 ft. Solving,

h = f(t) = -16t² + 44t + 138 = 0

-16t² + 44t + 138 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation,

t = 4.62 s or t = -1.87 s

Since time cannot be negative,

t = 4.62 s

c) How many seconds after being thrown does the rock reach its maximum height above the water?

At maximum height or at the maximum of any function, the derivative of that function with respect to the independent variable is equal to 0.

At maximum height,

(dh/dt) = f'(t) = (df/dt) = 0

h = f(t) = -16t² + 44t + 138

(dh/dt) = (df/dt) = -32t + 44 = 0

32t = 44

t = (44/32)

t = 1.375 s

d) What is the rock's maximum height above the water?

The maximum height occurs at t = 1.375 s,

Substituting this for t in the height equation,

h = f(t) = -16t² + 44t + 138

At t = 1.375 s, h = maximum height = H

H = f(1.375) = -16(1.375²) + 44(1.375) + 138

H = 168.25 ft

Hope this Helps!!!

The free body diagram shows a box being pulled to the left up a 25-degree incline
Greeley [361]
The question is incomplete but still I answer to assume your thinking.
The picture is attached below!.
Here,
F is the force with which you pull up the incline.
N is the normal force.
w is the weight acting downward.
Axis are mentioned in the attached picture.
Concept:
You can see there is no movement of object in the y-direction that means acceleration is zero in y-direction, sum of all the forces in y-direction equal to zero.
According to newton second law,
<span>∑ F = ma
</span>As, acceleration is zero in y-direction, so right hand side is zero in the above equation.
<span>∑ F = 0</span>
N-wcosθ=0 
N= m*g*cos25°
N= m*(9.8)*(0.9063)
N= 8.8817*m
By putting the value of mass(m)(not given in the question) you will get the answer.
Hopefully, this is the answer of your question.
