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!!!

Coulomb's Law: Force = k x q1x q2 divided distance square
where k=9x10^9 , q1 and q2 are the charge
So if you distance is halved, your force is stronger by 4 times
and if you distance is doubled, your force is 1/4

<span>Doing a warm-up before exercise is important because it strengthens your body and gets your body ready for the exercise you are about to do. If you do not do a warm-up, your body may grow tired a bit more quickly.

Question 1 of 10
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The neutron is a subatomic particle, symbol 

n

 or 

n0

, with no electric charge and a mass slightly greater than that of a proton. Protons and neutrons constitute the nuclei of atoms. Since protons and neutrons behave similarly within the nucleus, and each has a mass of approximately one atomic mass unit, they are both referred to as nucleons.[6] Their properties and interactions are described by nuclear physics.

A 2.26 cm tall object is placed in 18.6 cm in front of a convex lens. The focal length
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

the image is -38.7 cm from the lens

Explanation:

We use the lens equation which says  

$\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}  $

where u is the distance to the object, v is the distance to the image, and f  is the focal length.

Now, in our case

u =18.6cm,

v= 35.8cm,

f = 35.8cm;

therefore,

$\frac{1}{18.6}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{35.8}  $

$\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{35.8}-\frac{1}{18.6}  $

\boxed{v=-38.7cm}

where the negative sign indicates that the image is virtual and on the same side of the lens as the object.

A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with incompressib
tatiyna
This is a hydraulic system, and these systems rely on the incompressible nature of fluids to transmit pressure through the fluid equally. Therefore, the pressure on the wide side of the U-tube (the side with the car) must be equal to the pressure on the narrow side of the U-tube. We begin by calculating the pressure on the wider side:
Pressure on wide side = pressure due to car + pressure due to difference in height of oil

The pressure by the car is calculated using:
Pressure = force / area
P = 12,000 / (π * 0.18²)
P = 118 kPa

While the pressure due to the oil is given by:
Pressure = density * gravitational field strength * height
P = 800 * 9.81 * 1.2
P = 9.4 kPa

Pressure on wide side:
118 + 9.4 = 127.4 kPa

Pressure on the narrow side will be given by:
Pressure = force / area
Force = area * pressure
Force = (π * 0.05²)(127,000)
Force = 997 Newtons

The force required is about 1 kN
