Answer: 3.55 s and 0.83 s

Explanation:

The height (in feet) of the softball is given by:

s(t)=-16t²+70t+3

we need to find the time when the ball is 50 feet above the ground:

⇒50 = -16t²+70t+3

we need to solve the quadratic equation

⇒16t²-70t+47 = 0

t=\frac{70\pm \sqrt{70^2-4(16)(47)}}{2(16)}

This gives two values of time: 3.55 s and 0.83 s

Answer: The solutions are:

t1 = (-70 + 43.5)/-32 = 0.83 seconds

t2 = (-70 - 43.5)/-32 = 3.55 seconds

Explanation: Here the equation for the height of the ball is s(t) = -16t^2+70t+3

If we want to find the time where the ball is at 50 ft above the ground, we need to solve the equation:

s(t) = 50 = -16t^2+70t+3

0 = -16t^2+70t+3 - 50 = -16t^2+70t - 47

now, the solutions are:

t = \frac{-70 +/- \sqrt{70^2 - (4)*(-16)*(-47)} }{-2*16}  = \frac{-70 +/- \sqrt{1892} }{-32}

\frac{-70 +/- \sqrt{1892} }{-32} = \frac{-70 +/- 43.5}{-32}

So the solutions are:

t1 = (-70 + 43.5)/-32 = 0.83 seconds

t2 = (-70 - 43.5)/-32 = 3.55 seconds

Where we can assume that t1 is when the ball is going up, and t2 is when the ball already reached is max point and started to fall to the ground.

A lamp can work on 50V mains taking 2 amps. What value of resistance must be connected in series with it, so that it can be oper
wolverine [178]
The resistance of the lamp is apparently  50V/2A  =  25 ohms.

When the circuit is fed with more than 50V, we want to add
another resistor in series with the 25-ohm lamp so that the
current through the combination will be 2A.

In order for 200V to cause 2A of current, the total resistance
must be      200V/2A = 100 ohms.

The lamp provides 25 ohms, so we want to add another 75 ohms 
in series with the lamp.  Then the total resistance of the circuit is
(75 + 25) = 100 ohms, and the current is 200V/100 ohms = 2 Amps.

The power delivered by the 200V mains is (200V) x (2A) = 400 watts.

The lamp dissipates ( I² · R ) = (2² · 25 ohms) = 100 watts.

The extra resistor dissipates  ( I² · R) = (2² · 75 ohms) = 300 watts.

Together, they add up to the 400 watts delivered by the mains.

CAUTION:
300 watts is an awful lot of power for a resistor to dissipate !
Those little striped jobbies can't do it. 
It has to be a special 'power resistor'. 
300 watts is even an unusually big power resistor.
If this story actually happened, it would be cheaper, easier,
and safer to get three more of the same kind of lamp, and
connect THOSE in series for 100 ohms.  Then at least the
power would all be going to provide some light, and not just
wasted to heat the room with a big moose resistor that's too
hot to touch.

If Earth were 10.0 times farther away from the Sun than it is now, how many times weaker would the gravitational force between t
choli [55]

If Earth were 10.0 times farther away from the Sun than it is now, 100 times weaker would the gravitational force between the Sun and Earth.

What is Gravitational Force?

According to Newton's universal law of gravitation, The force of attraction between any two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

What causes gravitational force?

Earth's gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body. That's what gives you weight. And if you were on a planet with less mass than Earth, you would weigh less than you do here.

A bird flying straight upward at 5 m/s drops a berry when it is 300 m above the ground. How fast is the berry going when it hits
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

v=77.62 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

h= - 300 m

speed of the bird ,u= 5 m/s

Lets take Speed of the berry when it hit the ground = v m/s

we know that ,if object is moving upward

v² = u² - 2 g h

u=Initial speed

v=Final speed

h=Height

Now by putting the values

v² = u² - 2 g h

v² = 5² - 2 x 10 x (-300)                ( take g = 10 m/s²)

v² =25 + 20 x 300

v² ==25 + 6000

v² =6025

v=77.62 m/s

Therefore the final speed of the berry will be 77.62 m/s.

A 1.20 kg water balloon will break if it experiences more than 530 N of force. Your 'friend' whips the water balloon toward you
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

t = 0.029s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the interaction time at the moment of catching the ball, you take into account that the force exerted on an object is also given by the change, on time, of its linear momentum:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}       (1)

m: mass of the water balloon = 1.20kg

Δv: change in the speed of the balloon = v2 - v1

v2: final speed = 0m/s (the balloon stops in my hands)

v1: initial speed = 13.0m/s

Δt: interaction time = ?

The water balloon brakes if the force is more than 530N. You solve the equation (1) for Δt and replace the values of the other parameters:

|F|=|530N|= |m\frac{v_2-v_1}{\Delta t}|\\\\|530N|=| (1.20kg)\frac{0m/s-13.0m/s}{\Delta t}|\\\\\Delta t=0.029s

The interaction time to avoid that the water balloon breaks is 0.029s
