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

HELP MEEEE<br> How do you add and subtract functions?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

To add or subtract functions, just add or subtract the values at each point where it makes sense. If the functions are given by formulas, you can just add or subtract the formulas (it doesn't matter whether you plug in values before or after).

The equation of best fit is y = (-22/5)x + 10.

What is an equation of a line?

The equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

Example:

The slope of the line y = 2x + 3 is 2.

The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.

We have,

The following coordinates are given:

Pick two coordinates.

(0, 10) and (25, -100)

The equation of best fit.

y = mx + c

Now,

m = (-100 - 10) / (25 - 0)

m = -110 / 25

m = -22/5

Now,

(0, 10) = (x, y)

10 = (-22/5) x 0 + c

c = 10

Now,

y = mx + c

y = (-22/5)x + 10

Thus,

Using the coordinates the equation of best fit is y = (-22/5)x + 10.

Answer:

∠ 4 = 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ 4 is an exterior angle of the triangle , so

∠ 4 = ∠ 1 + ∠ 2 ( substitute values )

11x + 9 = 6x + 6 + 4x + 14 , that is

11x + 9 = 10x + 20 ( subtract 10x from both sides )

x + 9 = 20 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 11

Then

∠ 4 = 11x + 9 = 11(11) + 9 = 121 + 9 = 130°

your friend may have only calculated ∠ 1

∠ 1 = 6x + 6 = 6(11) + 6 = 66 + 6 = 72°

03. O preço a ser pago por uma corrida de táxi inclui uma parcela fixa, denominada bandeirada, e uma parcela que depende da dist
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: d) v = 3.20 + 1.50n.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'v' be the price to pay in a 'n' kilometer.

Given: The price to be paid for a taxi ride includes a fixed parcel, called a flag, and a parcel that depends on the distance traveled.

Flag costs = $ 3.20 and

Each kilometre run costs = $ 1.50

Then, the amount of 'v' to pay in a 'n' kilometer race = Flag costs +   (n)× (Each kilometre run costs )

⇒ v= 3.20 + 1.50n

Hence, the correct option is  d) v = 3.20 + 1.50n.
