<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

                      s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m

Answer: The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball is the gravitational acceleration in the y axis.

A = (0, -9.8m/s^)

For the velocity we can integrate over time and get:

V(t) = (9.20m/s*cos(69°), -9.8m/s^2*t + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°))

for the position we can integrate it again over time, but this time we do not have any integration constant because the initial position of the ball will be (0,0)

P(t) = (9.20*cos(69°)*t, -4.9m/s^2*t^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*t)

now, the time at wich the horizontal displacement is 4.22 m will be:

4.22m = 9.20*cos(69°)*t

t = (4.22/ 9.20*cos(69°)) = 1.28s

Now we evaluate the y-position in this time:

h =  -4.9m/s^2*(1.28s)^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*1.28s = 2.96m

The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.

viva [34]
Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.

( \frac{ 5 cm}{1 sec} ) *( \frac{1m }{100cm})*( \frac{1km}{1000m} )*( \frac{1mi}{1.6km} ) = 0.00003125 mi/sec \\  \\ ( \frac{0.00003125 mi}{1sec} )*( \frac{60sec}{1min} )*( \frac{60min}{1hr} )=0.1125 mi/hr

stiv31 [10]
It is about 95%. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV is an IQ test that is given by therapists and measures worldwide scholarly working. It incorporates both verbal and nonverbal parts. The normal score for all tests and subtests is 100; therefore, a score of more than 100 is better than expected and beneath 100 is underneath normal.
