The initial kick is the first force applied to the ball. It sends the ball up into the air (at some angle). If gravity wasn't present, then the ball would go upward forever in a straight line. However, gravity is the second force pulling down on the ball. This explains why the ball hits some peak point or highest point before it is pulled to the ground. Overall, the path the ball takes is a parabolic arch.

In short, the two forces are the initial kick and gravity.

side note: technically air resistance (aka air friction or drag) is a force being applied since the air pushes against the ball to slow it down, but often air resistance is really complicated and beyond the scope of many math courses. So your teacher may want you to ignore air resistance.

Another note: the initial kick is a one time force that only happens at the beginning. Once the ball is in the air, that force isn't applied anymore. In contrast, the force of gravity is always present and always pulling down. It's probably incredibly obvious, but it's worth pointing out this difference.

Find the sum of interior angles of a 10-sided figure. Explain what formula you used to get the answer.
Vilka [71]

Answer: 1440°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the above question, we'll use the formula (n-2) × 180. In this question, we are told that it has 10 sides. This implies that n= 10. Therefore, using the formula goes thus:

= (n - 2) × 180

where, n = 10

= (10 - 2) × 180

= 8 × 180

= 1440

A bacteria culture starts with 1000 bacteria and the number doubles every 40 minutes. (a) find a formula for the number of bacte
vfiekz [6]

The formula for the number of bacteria at time t is 1000 x (2^t).

The number of bacteria after one hour is 2828

The number of minutes for there to be 50,000 bacteria is 324 minutes.

<h3>What is the number of bacteria after 1 hour?
</h3>

The exponential function that can be used to determine the number of bacteria with the passage of time is:

initial population x (rate of increase)^t

1000 x (2^t).

Population after 1 hour : 1000 x 2^(60/40) = 2828

Time when there would be 50,000 bacteria : In(FV / PV) / r

Where:

  • FV = future bacteria population = 50,000
  • PV = present bacteria population = 1000
  • r = rate of increase = 100%

In (50,000 / 1000)

In 50 / 1  = 3.91 hours x 60 = 324 minutes
