<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

Projectile A is launched horizontally at a speed of 20. Meters per second from the top of a cliff and strikes a level surface be
miv72 [106K]

consider the motion of projectile A in vertical direction :

v₀ = initial velocity of projectile A in vertical direction = 0 m/s         (since the projectile was launched horizontally)

a = acceleration of the projectile = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for projectile A = 3.0 seconds

Y = vertical displacement of projectile A = height of the cliff = h = ?

using the kinematics equation along the vertical direction as

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = (0) (3.0) + (0.5) (9.8) (3.0)²

h = 44.1 m

A particle moves at a constant speed of 34 m/s in a circular path of radius 6.3 m. From this information, what can be calculated
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

  • The centripetal acceleration is the motion inwards towards the center of a circular path.
  • <em><u>Centripetal acceleration is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path. </u></em>
  • That is;

         ac = v²/r

         Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the  radius, m

The function h(t) = –16t2 + 96t + 6 represents an object projected into the air from a cannon. The maximum height reached by the
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Since h(t) represents the height and t represents the time, we can set the equation equal to 150 to find t.

-16t^2+96t+6=150

Subtract 150 from both sides to set the equation equal to 0, to find the solutions.

-16t^2+96t-144=0

Factor out -16, because all of the terms are divisible by it.

-16(t^2+6t+9)=0

Now we can focus on the terms inside the parenthesis and factor it again.

t^2-6t+9=0

We need to find two value that can be multiplied to get 9 and added to get -6.

-3 and -3 works.

Thus, we get (x-3)(x-3).

Now solve for 0.

x-3=0

x=3

The object reaches its maximum height after 3 seconds.
