A bowling ball is launched off the top of a 240-foot tall building. The height of the bowling ball above the ground t seconds af

ter being launched is s(t)=−16t2+32t+240s(t)=−16t2+32t+240 feet above the ground. What is the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground?

Answer:

When the ball hits the ground, its velocity is -128 ft/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

First, let's find the time it takes the ball to reach the ground (the value of t for which s(t) = 0):

s(t) = -16t² + 32t + 240

0 = -16t² + 32t + 240

Solving the quadratic equation with the quadratic formula:

t = 5.0 s (the other solution of the equation is rejected because it is negative).

Now, we have to find the velocity of the ball at t = 5.0 s.

The velocity of the ball is the change of height over time (the derivative of s(t)):

v = ds/dt = s'(t) = -32t + 32

at t = 5.0 s:

s'(5.0) = -32(5.0) + 32 = -128 ft/s

When the ball hits the ground, its velocity is -128 ft/s.

A popular car stereo has four speakers, each rated at 60 W. In answering the following questions, assume that the speakers produ
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of sound = sound energy emitted by source / 4 π d² , where d is distance of the source .

A )

Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /4 π d²

d = 1 m

Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /(4 π 1²)

= 4.78 W m⁻² s⁻¹

B )

Intensity of sound at 1.5 m distance = 60 /4 π d²

d = 1.5  m

Intensity of sound at 1 m distance = 60 /(4 π 1.5²)

= 2.12 W m⁻² s⁻¹

C )

Intensity of sound due to 4 speakers at 1.5 m distance = 4 x 60 /4 π d²

d = 1.5  m

= 4 x 60 /(4 π 1.5²)

= 8.48 W m⁻² s⁻¹

D )

Intensity of sound due to .06 W speaker must be 10⁻¹² W s ⁻² . Let the distance be d .

.06 /4 π d² = 10⁻¹²

d² = .06 /4 π 10⁻¹²

d = 6.9 x 10⁴ m .

If a proton is moved a certain distance directly opposite an external electric field, what can we say about the change in the el
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Potential energy increases.

Explanation:

We know that the direction of electric field is from positive to negative charge. As the proton has the positive charge so if it moves in the direction opposite of electric field, it means that the positive charge will move towards the positive region. As the positive charge is attracted towards negative and repelled by the positive charge. So the work done will be negative in bringing the positive charge towards the positive region of the field and potential energy increases in the direction opposite to electric field. As the potential energy decreases in the direction of electric field.

What is an inertial reference frame?
Gennadij [26K]
<h2>Answer: A system in which Newton's Laws are fulfilled</h2>

An inertial reference system is a reference system in which the principle of inertia is fulfilled, which is one of Newton's laws:

<em>"For a body to have acceleration, an external force must act on it" </em>

In addition, the other Newton's laws of movement are fulfilled.

Therefore, the variation of the linear momentum of the system is equal to the actual forces on the system.

Please give me the answer of this​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Q.5 - Adaptation is the evolutionary process whereby an organism becomes better able to live in its habitat or habitats.

Q.6 - An adaptation is a special skill which helps an animal to survive and do everything it needs to do. Adaptations could be physical changes to the animals body or behavioural changes in how an individual animal or a society do things in their daily lives. ( I may not be right )

Q.4 - Whereas weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere, climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area. Different regions can have different climates.

Explanation:

I think there is no need for explaining :)
