False, the Amazon River is in South America. It's in the countries Brazil, Colombia, and Peru.
Answer:
Explanation:
Ignoring friction, the initial kinetic energy will convert to maximum potential energy at its highest point.
PE = KE
mgh = ½mv²
h = v²/2g
h = 36.4²/ (2(9.81))
h = 67.53109...
h = 67.53 m
The height at time t is given by
h(t) = -4.91t² + 34.3t + 1
When the ball reaches maximum height, its derivative, h'(t) = 0.
That is,
-2(4.91)t+34.3 = 0
-9.82t + 34.3 = 0
t = 3.4929 s
Note that h''(t) = -9.82 (negative) which confirms that h will be maximum.
The maximum height is
hmax = -4.91(3.4929)² + 34.3(3.4929) + 1
= 60.903 m
Answer:
The ball attains maximum height in 3.5 s (nearest tenth).
The ball attains a maximum height of 60.9 m (nearest tenth)
