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!!!

1. Calcula la fuerza de atracción electrostática entre dos cuerpos de cargas q1 = -18 C y q2 = +5 mC, separados entre sí por una
romanna [79]

Answer:

A) F=-20.16×10⁹N

B) if the distance doubles, force is 4 times smaller.

Explanation:

q1=-28C

q2=5mC=0.005C

d=25cm=0.25m

Electrostatic force between charges: F=k×q1×q2/d², where k is a coefficient that has the value k=9 × 10⁹ N⋅m²⋅C^(-2) for air.

Thus:

F=9×10⁹×(-28)×0.005/0.25²

F=-20.16×10⁹N

The minus sign indicates attraction.

If distance doubles, d1=2×d, then we have 4d² at the denominator and the force is 4 times smaller.

URGENT!!
irinina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:La ecuación de Van der Waals es una ecuación de estado de un fluido compuesto de partículas con un tamaño no despreciable y con fuerzas intermoleculares, como las fuerzas de Van der Waals. La ecuación, cuyo origen se remonta a 1873, debe su nombre a Johannes van der Waals, quien recibió el premio Nobel en 1910 por su trabajo en la ecuación de estado para gases y líquidos, la cual está basada en una modificación de la ley de los gases ideales para que se aproxime de manera más precisa al comportamiento de los gases reales al tener en cuenta su tamaño no nulo y la atracción entre sus partículas.

When a person steps forward out of a small boat onto a dock, the boat recoils backward in the water. why does this occur??
bixtya [17]
Here is the correct answer of the given question above. When a person steps forward out of a small boat onto a dock, the boat recoils backward in the water and this occurs because the total momentum of the system is conserved. Hope this helps.
