Answer:

a. 4.5secs

Explanation:

From the question, the equation describing the height is given by

h(t)=320-16t^{2}\\

at the point when the rock hit the ground, the height,h will be zero.

Hence we can have

h(t)=320-16t^{2}\\\\at  h(t)=0\\0=320-16t^{2}\\hence \\320=16t^{2}\\t^{2}=\frac{320}{16}\\ t^{2}=20\\t=\sqrt{20}\\ t=4.47secs\\t=4.5sec\\

hence the rock will hit the ground in 4.5secs

What was David Berkowitz best known for? How did arson play a role in his past?
tankabanditka [31]
David Berkowitz, who became known as Son of Sam, went on a murderous rampage in New York City during the 1970s, taunting and insulting police, until they captured him. On August 10, 1977, 11 days after his last murder, David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam, was arrested and later sentenced to six consecutive 25-years-to-life terms. Arson has evolved, since the 18th century, from a wrongful individual act into an effective means of collective violence, too. From 1750, the privatisation of common land in England limited peasants' access to resources such as firewood and game. Hope this helped!

A foot player runs 1.6m/s and has a KE of 790 J. What is his mass?
Mariana [72]
The equation for kinetic energy is,

Ke = (1/2)mv^2.

You're given a kinetic energy of 790 joules, and a speed of 1.6 m/s. Plugging these values into the equation, we get,

790 = (1/2)(1.6)^2(m).

Solving for m, we get,

m = (790)/(0.5(1.6)^2).

I'll let you crunch out those numbers for yourself :D

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps!

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

If a car travels 216 kilometers in 4 hours, calculate its speed.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Speed(m/s) = distance(m)/time(s)

distance = 216 km = 216,000 m

time = 4 hours = 14,400 s

speed = 216000/14400 = 15 m/s
