A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(

t)=−16t2+64t+960. Answer the following questions, including units in each answer. At what time does it reach its maximum height? Hint: Its velocity is zero at its maximum height. How high will it go? What is its velocity at the instant it reaches the ground?

Answer:

a) t=2s

b) h_{max}=1024ft

c) v_{y}=-256ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)

y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

h=-16t^2+64t+960

1024=-16t^2+64t+960

0=-16t^2+64t-64

Solving the quadratic equation

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64

t=2s

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

v=-256ft/s

A Tennis ball falls from a height 40m above the ground the ball rebounds
worty [1.4K]

If the ball is dropped with no initial velocity, then its velocity <em>v</em> at time <em>t</em> before it hits the ground is

<em>v</em> = -<em>g t</em>

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity.

Its height <em>y</em> is

<em>y</em> = 40 m - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

The ball is dropped from a 40 m height, so that it takes

0 = 40 m - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

==>  <em>t</em> = √(80/<em>g</em>) s ≈ 2.86 s

for it to reach the ground, after which time it attains a velocity of

<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (√(80/<em>g</em>) s)

==>  <em>v</em> = -√(80<em>g</em>) m/s ≈ -28.0 m/s

During the next bounce, the ball's speed is halved, so its height is given by

<em>y</em> = (14 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> to see how long it's airborne during this bounce:

0 = (14 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

0 = <em>t</em> (14 m/s - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>)

==>  <em>t</em> = 28/<em>g</em> s ≈ 2.86 s

So the ball completes 2 bounces within approximately 5.72 s, which means that after 5 s the ball has a height of

<em>y</em> = (14 m/s) (5 s - 2.86 s) - 1/2 <em>g</em> (5 s - 2.86 s)²

==>  (i) <em>y</em> ≈ 7.5 m

(ii) The ball will technically keep bouncing forever, since the speed of the ball is only getting halved each time it bounces. But <em>y</em> will converge to 0 as <em>t</em> gets arbitrarily larger. We can't realistically answer this question without being given some threshold for deciding when the ball is perfectly still.

During the first bounce, the ball starts with velocity 14 m/s, so the second bounce begins with 7 m/s, and the third with 3.5 m/s. The ball's height during this bounce is

<em>y</em> = (3.5 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (3.5 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em>²

0 = <em>t</em> (3.5 m/s - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>)

==>  (iii) <em>t</em> = 7/<em>g</em> m/s ≈ 0.714 s

As we showed earlier, the ball is in the air for 2.86 s before hitting the ground for the first time, then in the air for another 2.86 s (total 5.72 s) before bouncing a second time. At the point, the ball starts with an initial velocity of 7 m/s, so its velocity at time <em>t</em> after 5.72 s (but before reaching the ground again) would be

<em>v</em> = 7 m/s - <em>g t</em>

At 6 s, the ball has velocity

(iv) <em>v</em> = 7 m/s - <em>g</em> (6 s - 5.72 s) ≈ 4.26 m/s

Research indicate that men and women of different races expectationz regarding to gender roles. Which of these statements regard
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Asian American women are more likely than Asian American men to value egalitarian roles for men and women.

Explanation:

Gender biased has made the environment have different races expectation regarding to gender role.

A socialist feminine (Anita) believes that the oppression of women is based on the capitalist economy.

Parent influence an individuals on their lives socialization.

Some expectations of gender expectation.

1. Men are expected to gain more income, power, and social standing than females.

2. Using biological determinism, it shows that women are more hormonal and men are more aggressive.

3. Few percent of women are in the paid labor force while, large percent of men are in the paid labor force.

4. There is occupational segregation and this why women make up 97% of secretaries and 95% of child-care workers.

5. It is believed that women live longer than men, and this might be due to the stress the man has gone through during is life.

6. In general, men and women differ physically from but women have greater endurance than men.

There should be gender equality because *The Equal Pay Act of 1963" says that men and women receive equal pay for equal work.

Sexual harassment is a form of overt discrimination that has a negative impact on women's.

But today, both men and women say it is not fair for men to be the sole decision maker in the household.

Research on the impact of peer relationships on socialization have found that

1. for boys and girls peers reinforce age and racial norms as well as gender expectations.

2. gender norms are applied more strictly to boys than to girls.

3. homophobia serves to reinforce gender norms.
