Answer:

(a) 25.08 m

(b) 2.05 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the building be 'h'.

Given:

Angle of projection is, \theta=25°

Initial speed is, u=15\ m/s

Time of flight is, t=3.0\ s

(a)

Consider the vertical motion of the brick.

Vertical component of initial velocity is given as:

u_y=u\sin\theta\\\\u_y=15\sin(25)=6.34\ m/s

Vertical displacement of the brick is equal to the height of the building.

So, vertical displacement = -h (Negative sign implies downward motion)

Acceleration is due to gravity in the downward direction. So,

Acceleration is, g=-9.8\ m/s^2

Now, using the following equation of motion;

-h=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-h=6.34(3)-\frac{9.8}{2}(3)^2\\\\-h=19.02-44.1\\\\-h=-25.08\\\\h=25.08\ m

Therefore, the building is 25.08 m tall.

(b)

Let the maximum height be 'H'.

At maximum height, the vertical component of velocity is 0 as the brick stops temporarily in the vertical direction.

So, v_y=0\ m/s

Now, using the following equation of motion, we have:

v_y^2=u_y^2+2gH\\\\0=(6.34)^2-2\times 9.8\times H\\\\19.6H=40.2\\\\H=\frac{40.2}{19.6}=2.05\ m

Therefore, the maximum height of the brick is 2.05 m.

Find the sum of a finite geometric sequence from n = 1 to n = 7, using the expression −4(6)n − 1.
Verizon [17]

Answer:

<h2>-223,948</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a sum of terms of a gometric sequence:

S_n=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}

a₁ - first term

r - common ratio

We have

a_n=-4(6)^{n-1}

Calculate a₁. Put n = 1:

a_1=-4(6)^{1-1}=-4(6)^0=-4(1)=-4

Calculate the common ratio:

r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\\\\a_{n+1}=-4(6)^{n+1-1}=-4(6)^n\\\\r=\dfrac{-4(6)^n}{-4(6)^{n-1}}=6^n:6^{n-1}\\\\\text{use}\ a^n:a^m=a^{n-m}\\\\r=6^{n-(n-1)}=6^{n-n+1}=6^1=6

\text{Substitute}\ a_1=-4,\ n=7,\ r=6:\\\\S_7=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-6^7}{1-6}=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-279936}{-5}=-4\cdot\dfrac{-279935}{-5}=(-4)(55987)\\\\S_7=-223948

The volume of a box containing 15 identical cubes is 295245cu.m. Find the edge of the cube.
zmey [24]

Answer:

Edge length of the cube = 27 m

Dimensions of the box is length = 135 m, width = 81 m, height = 27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The box contains 15 identical cubes therefore, we have

Edge length of cube = Side, s, of cube

15 × s³ = 295245 m³

∴ s³ = 295245/15 = 19683 m³

s = ∛19683 = 27 m

Hence the edge length of the cube = 27 m

The dimension of the box is length =  5 × 27 = 135 m

Width = 3 × 27 = 81 m

height = 27 m.
