The force of gravity on Mars is different than on Earth. The function of the same situation on Mars would be represented by the

parabolic function shown below. On which planet would the ball go the highest? On which planet would the ball take the longest to return to the ground? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

If thrown up with the same speed, the ball will go highest in Mars, and also it would take the ball longest to reach the maximum and as well to return to the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that the gravity on Mars; surface is less (about just 38%) of the acceleration of gravity on Earth's surface. Then when we use the kinematic formulas:

v=v_0+a\,*\,t\\y-y_0=v_0\,* t + \frac{1}{2} a\,\,t^2

the acceleration (which by the way is a negative number since acts opposite the initial velocity and displacement when we throw an object up on either planet.

Therefore, throwing the ball straight up makes the time for when the object stops going up and starts coming down (at the maximum height the object gets) the following:

v=v_0+a\,*\,t\\0=v_0-g\,*\,t\\t=\frac{v_0}{t}

When we use this to replace the 't" in the displacement formula, we et:

y-y_0=v_0\,* t + \frac{1}{2} a\,\,t^2\\y-y_0=v_0\,(\frac{v_0}{g} )-\frac{g}{2} \,(\frac{v_0}{g} )^2\\y-y_0=\frac{1}{2} \frac{v_0^2}{g}

This tells us that the smaller the value of "g", the highest the ball will go (g is in the denominator so a small value makes the quotient larger)

And we can also answer the question about time, since given the same initial velocity v_0 , the smaller the value of "g", the larger the value for the time to reach the maximum, and similarly to reach the ground when coming back down, since the acceleration is smaller (will take longer in Mars to cover the same distance)

Your school's drama club charges $4 per student for admission to Our Town. The club borrowed $400 from parents to pay for costum
inna [77]

Answer:

125 students attend.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the drama club made $500 (500 - 400 = 100)

divide 500 by 4 to find out how many students attend the play, and paid $4

500 ÷ 4 = 125

125 students attend.
