Match each scenario involving projectile motion with the equation that describes the height of the object at time t. Tiles h = -

4.9t2 + 5 h = -4.9t2 + 1.5 h = -16t2 + 73t + 1.5 h = -16t2 + 5 h = -16t2 + 73t + 5 h = -4.9t2 + 73t + 1.5 Pairs Dwayne throws a ball with an initial velocity of 73 feet/second. Dwayne holds the ball 5 feet off the ground before throwing it. A watermelon falls from a height of 5 feet to splatter on the ground below. Marcella shoots a foam dart at a target. She holds the dart gun 1.5 meters off the ground before firing. The dart leaves the gun traveling 73 meters/second. Greg drops a life raft off the side of a boat 1.5 meters above the water.

Answer:

  1. h = -16t^2 + 73t + 5
  2. h = -16t^2 + 5
  3. h = -4.9t^2 + 73t + 1.5
  4. h = -4.9t^2 + 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation we use for ballistic motion is ...

  h(t)=\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_0t+h_0

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, v₀ is the initial upward velocity, and h₀ is the initial height.

The values of g commonly used are -32 ft/s², or -4.9 m/s². Units are consistent when the former is used with velocity in ft/s and height in feet. The latter is used when velocity is in m/s, and height is in meters.

_____

Dwayne throws a ball with an initial velocity of 73 feet/second. Dwayne holds the ball 5 feet off the ground before throwing it. (h = -16t^2 + 73t + 5)

A watermelon falls from a height of 5 feet to splatter on the ground below. (h = -16t^2 + 5)

Marcella shoots a foam dart at a target. She holds the dart gun 1.5 meters off the ground before firing. The dart leaves the gun traveling 73 meters/second. (h = -4.9t^2 + 73t + 1.5)

Greg drops a life raft off the side of a boat 1.5 meters above the water. (h = -4.9t^2 + 1.5)

_____

<em>Additional comment on these scenarios</em>

The dart and ball are described as being launched at 73 units per second. Generally, we expect launches of these kinds of objects to have a significant horizontal component. However, these equations are only for <em>vertical</em> motion, so we must assume the launches are <em>straight up</em> (or that the up-directed component of motion is 73 units/second).

Can someone explain to me why you flip the reciprial
puteri [66]

Answer:

By flipping the second fraction (finding its reciprocal) we change the equation mathematically. In order to maintain the equation mathematically, we must turn the division question into a multiplication question.

An open box with a square base is to have a volume of 18 ft^3.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

2.29 ft of side length and 1.14 height

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Volume V = x2h, where x is side of square base and h is hite.

Then surface area S = x2 + 4xh because box is open.

b) From V = x2h = 6 we have h = 6/x2.

Substitude in formula for surface area: S = x2 + 4x·6/x2, S = x2 + 24/x.

We get S as function of one variable x. To get minimum we have to find derivative S' = 2x - 24/x2 = 0, from here 2x3 - 24 = 0, x3 = 12, x = (12)1/3 ≅ 2.29 ft.

Then h = 6/(12)2/3 = (12)1/3/2 ≅ 1.14 ft.

To prove that we have minimum let get second derivative: S'' = 2 + 48/x3, S''(121/3) = 2 + 48/12 = 6 > 0.

And because by second derivative test we have minimum: Smin = (12)2/3 + 4(12)1/3(12)1/3/2 = 3(12)2/3 ≅ 15.72 ft2

Martha earned $180 during the summer doing chores. She bought 3 books worth $14 each using her chore money. How much money was l
Viktor [21]

Answer:

$138

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first turn the words into a mathematical equation by substituting words with the information we have:

Total earning - ( Price of three books)

$180 - (Price of one book x 3)

$180 - ($14 x 3)

Finally, after we have created the mathematical equation, we solve it!

$180 - ($14 x 3)

$180 - $42

$138
