Answer: y = 40 + 21t

Explanation:

Apply the equation of distance covered.

d = vt + C

Where d is the distance covered

v = velocity , t = time

C = constant = initial distance covered

For the case above....

d = y

y(t) = vt + C

But y(0) =40 = C

C = 40ft

velocity v = 21 ft/s

Therefore, the equation of the altitude is given by;

y(t) = 21t +40

y = 40 + 21t

A spring of spring constant k is attached to a support at the bottom of a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A bloc
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost  by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x

x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

The required distance from A to B is x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

Write the first equation of motion. Under what condition(s) is this equation valid?​
Zepler [3.9K]

Explanation:

The first equation of motion in kinematics is given by :

v=u+at .....(1)

u is initial speed

a is acceleration

v is final speed

t is time

Equation (1) is valid when the object is moving with constant acceleration. This equation gives relation between velocity and time.

If the moon is a full moon tonight what will be the moon one week later waxing or waning
tatiyna

-- Starting from nothing (New Moon), the moon's shape grows ('waxes')
for half of the cycle, until it's full, and then it shrinks ('wanes') for the next
half of the cycle.

-- The moon's complete cycle of phases runs 29.53 days . . . roughly
four weeks.

-- So, beginning from New Moon, it spends about two weeks waxing until
it's full, and then another two weeks waning until it's all gone again.
 
-- After a Full Moon, the moon is waning for the next two weeks.  So it's
definitely <em>waning</em> at <em><u>one week</u></em> after Full.
