Answer:

0.293 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Using equations of motion,

y = 66.1 cm = 0.661 m

v = final velocity at maximum height = 0 m/s

g = - 9.8 m/s²

t = ?

u = initial takeoff velocity from the ground = ?

First of, we calculate the initial velocity

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = u² - 2(9.8)(0.661)

u² = 12.9556

u = 3.60 m/s

Then we can calculate the two time periods at which the basketball player reaches ths height that corresponds with the top 10.5 cm of his jump.

The top 10.5 cm of his journey starts from (66.1 - 10.5) = 55.6 cm = 0.556 m

y = 0.556 m

u = 3.60 m/s

g = - 9.8 m/s²

t = ?

y = ut + (1/2)gt²

0.556 = 3.6t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 3.6t + 0.556 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

t = 0.514 s or 0.221 s

So, the two time periods that the basketball player reaches the height that corresponds to the top 10.5 cm of his jump are

0.221 s, on his way to maximum height and

0.514 s, on his way back down (counting t = 0 s from when the basketball player leaves the ground).

Time spent in the upper 10.5 cm of the jump = 0.514 - 0.221 = 0.293 s.

Find the value of the variable x (2x+12) and 8x-18
maxonik [38]

Answer: Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Just mutiply x on both sides which gives you 2x^2 + 12x then you mutiply 2x^2 then subtract that number on both sides and it gives you x = something then you distribute it on 8(something) - 18 you subtract

The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river. A certain riv
kari74 [83]
The river flows at 2 miles per hour. This is the speed of the current, or the speed at which the water itself is moving.

The mass of the particles moving in river is proportional to the sixth power of 2, or 2^6 = 64 miles per hour. So, if x is the mass of the particle, then the speed is modeled by an inverse relationship x * 2^6 = k, for some constant k. 

For particles that are 15 times the usual mass, the speed of the river itself must increase for the particles to travel at the same speed as before. The mass of the particles is still proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river, but the speed of the river can no longer be 2 miles per hour. It is some speed y, which we are solving for.

So, the key here is proportional. We can set up two proportions and cross multiply.

\dfrac{x}{2^6} =  \dfrac{15x}{y^6}  \\ (x)(y^6)=(2^6)(15x)

Cancelling our x's (because we don't need to solve for them), we have

y^6 = 15(2^6) = 15(64)=960

To solve for y, we must take the sixth root of both sides, or raise both sides to the one-sixth power.

\sqrt[6]{y^6} =  \sqrt[6]{960}

Using a calculator, we see that \sqrt[6]{960} = 3.14 \ miles \ per \ hour.
