Y = y0 + V0y * t + gt^2 / 2

y0 = 0

g  ≈ - 32 ft / s^2

(1) y =  V0y * t - 16t^2

(2) x = V0x * t 

Use (1) and the maximum heigth formula to determine V0y

y max = (V0y)^2 / (2g) = 200 => (V0y)^2 = 2*32*200 = 12,800 => V0y ≈ 113.14 ft/s

y = 113.14 t - 16t^2    

for y = 200 => 200 = 113t - 16t^2 => -16t^2 + 113.14t - 200 = 0

Solve that equation using the quadratic formula and you will ge t = 3.54 s

The total time is 3.54 s * 2 = 7.08 s

Then use that time in (2) to find V0x

600 = V0x * t => V0x = 600 / 7.08 s = V0x = 84.7 ft/s

Then, x = 84.7 t.
Now solve for t and replace it in  y = 113.14 t - 16t^2 :

t = x / 84.7

y = 113.14 (x/84.7) - 16(x^2 / 84.7 ^2) =  1.336 x - 0.00223x^2

You can check that for, except for a small difference due to the approximations, for x = 600, y = 0 and for x =300 y = 200

Answer: y = 1.336 x - 0.00223x^2

Answer:

y=1.32x-0.0022x^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the standard equation of parabola be y=ax^{2}+bx+c ....... (1)

Let y be the altitude of the ball and x be the distance traveled by the ball.

Now by putting the points one by one, we get the required equation.

first point = (0,0)

golf ball travels a distance of 600 feet  along the ground. Therefore point = (600,0)

At altitude of 200, it travels the distance of 300 feet(mid point) = (300,200)

By putting y=0 and x=0 in (1),

we get c=0,

By putting y=0 and x=600 we get

0 = 360000a+600b ..............(2)

By putting y=200 and x=300, we get

200=90000a+300b ................(3)

Solving (2) and(3) we get, a=-0.0022 and b = 1.32

So the required equation is :

y= =0.0022x^{2}+1.32x

A, B, and C are collinear points, where B is between A and C. Find x if AB = x, BC = x + 6, and AC = 24. Then find the measures
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

AB = 9, BC = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, A, B, and C are collinear points, where B is between A and C. i. e. A - B - C

\therefore AC = AB + BC\\\therefore 24 = x + x + 6\\\therefore 24 = 2x + 6\\\therefore 24 - 6 = 2x \\\therefore 18 = 2x \\ \therefore \:  \frac{18}{2}  = x \\  \therefore \: x = 9

\therefore AC = AB + BC\\\therefore 24 = x + x + 6\\\therefore 24 = 2x + 6\\\therefore 24 - 6 = 2x \\\therefore 18 = 2x \\ \therefore \:  \frac{18}{2}  = x \\  \therefore \: x = 9 \\  \because \: AB  = x \\  \huge \red{ \therefore AB  = 9} \\  \\  \because \:BC = x + 6 \\  \therefore \: BC = 9 + 6 \\ \huge \purple{ \therefore \: BC = 15}

A jet flies over the Air Force Base at 10:20 a.m. At 10:32 a.m., the plane passes over the Navy Base Station, 120 miles away. Ho
kati45 [8]
So first calculate the time between the plane flied over the Air Force Bases (AFB) and Navy Base Station (NBS):
(time passed Air Force Bases) - (time passed Air Force Bases) = 10:32 - 10:20 = 12 mins
Since we know the distance that plane travel from AFB to NBS is 120 miles and the plane traveled that distance within 12 minutes.
We have
120 miles / 12 minutes = 10 miles / minute
Calculate it into miles per hour (60 minutes):
10 miles/minute x 60 minutes = 600 miles per hour.
ANSWER : 600 mph
