An object is launched directly upward with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second from a platform 80 feet high. What will be

the object's maximum height? When will it attain that height? When will the object reach ground level?

Answer:

a) 63.6 ft

b) 1.99 seconds

c) 4.98 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The object will reach maximum height when its final velocity, v, is 0 m/s.

We apply one of Newton's equations of motion to solve this:

v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

where u = initial velocity = 64 ft/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s

h = height reached by object.

Note: the equation has a negative sign because the object is going upwards, against gravity.

Hence:

0^2 = 64^2 - 2*32.2*h\\\\=> 64.4h = 4096\\\\h = 4096 / 64.4\\\\h = 63.6 ft

The object is now 63.6 ft above the platform (143.6 ft above the ground).

b) Time taken to get to that height can be gotten by using another one of Newton's equations:

v = u - gt

=> 0 = 64 - 32.2t

32.2t = 64\\\\=> t = 64 / 32.2 \\\\t = 1.99 secs

It took the object 1.99 secs to get to that height.

c) When the object begins falling to ground level, it is at a height, h =  143.6 ft and begins moving at initial velocity, u = 0 m/s.

Applying another of Newton's equations of motion, we have that:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where t is the time taken to hit the floor after it begins its descent.

Therefore,

143.6 = 0*t + \frac{1}{2}*32.2t^2\\ \\143.6 = 16.1t^2\\\\t^2 = 143.6 / 16.1\\\\t^2 = 8.92\\\\t = \sqrt{8.92} \\\\t = 2.99 secs

This is the time it will take the object to hit the floor after it begins its descent.

Therefore, the total time it will take for the object to hit the ground after it is launched will be:

T = time taken to reach maximum height + time taken to hit the floor after it begins descending

T = 1.99 + 2.99

T = 4.98 seconds

Are the graphs of −5y=2x+3 and y=25x+4 parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
saw5 [17]
Parallel graphs have the same slope. perpendicular has opposite reciprocal slopes. These equations have slopes of -2/5 and 25 so they are neither.

18. Doreen picked 2.33 kg of grapes. She gave 800 g of the grapes to her brother and then shared the remaining grapes equally wi
Nikitich [7]

---------------------------------------︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵--------------------------------------

Answer:

765 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Exchange:

2.33 kg = 2330 gr

Grams of grapes that are left after giving 800 grams to her brother:

2330 - 800 = 1530 gr

Grams of grapes each sister will get if Doreen shares the remaining equally:

1530 : 2 = 765 gr

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I don"t really know the answer but i might have and explanation to help. Hollow everyday circular objects appear differently than drawn two-dimensional circles. Objects like pipes and hoses have two different diameters. The outside diameter measures the distance of a straight line from one point on the outside of the object, through its center, and to an opposite point on the outside. The internal diameter measures the inside of the object. Calculating the internal diameter depends on the outside diameter and the thickness of the outer circle.
