Answer:

The "tallest truck" that it passes by is 12 ft.

Explanation:

Given that,

The truck passes through "Height of an half ellipse" is 20 ft ("a" is "Major axis").

The truck passes through "Width of an ellipse" is 20 ft ("b" is "Minor axis").

The width of the truck is 16 ft (x).

We need to find the greatest "height of the truck" (y) which enters into an ellipse.

We know that,

Equation of ellipse is \frac {x^2}{b^2}+ \frac {y^2}{a^2}=1

Substitute the given values in the above formula,

\frac {16^2}{20^2}+ \frac {y^2}{20^2}=1

\frac {256}{400}+ \frac {y^2}{400}=1

0.64+ \frac {y^2}{400}=1

\frac {y^2}{400}=1-0.64

\frac {y^2}{400}=0.36

y^2=0.36\times400

y^2=144

y=\sqrt{144}

y = 12

Therefore, The "tallest truck" that it passes by is 12 ft.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two projectile is fired vertically upward

One has 4 times the mass of other

When Projectile is fired their trajectory is independent of mass of object. Also if they launched with same speed then both achieved same maximum height in same time and will hit the ground at the same moment.

Travka [436]

Answer:

the answer is C

Explanation:

we know this because if you compare the graphs and look at the direction. it isn't always in the explanation or the few sentences they gave you at the top. also, look at the waves, you can see in Davids drawing that it is directly straight up, A and B do not represent that. A isn't even a valid answer. Notice also in A that the arrow is going in the completely different direction than in Davids drawing. B is also going a different direction even though it is only turned a little bit although if it was straight up like Davids drawing then it would most likely be a correct answer. C does have one arrow going a different direction but look at how it has two, showing in which if the waves were to turn then the arrow is still valid

a 0.40kg soccer ball approaches a player horizontally with a velocity of 18m/s north. the player strikes the ball and causes it
denis23 [38]
Impulse = Ft = (m)(delta v)
delta v = change in velocity = velocity final - velocity initial.
= -22m/s - +18m/s = -40m/s.
mdeltav = (0.40kg)(-40m/s) = -16kgm/s or -16Ns.
