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)

Classify each number below as an integer or not.
fomenos

Answer:

1. yes

2. no

3. yes

4. no

5. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The method i use is if the number is not a fraction than it is an integer. besides 6 for some reason.

Here is the catch if the fraction can be simplified into a whole number than it is an integer.

Which expression is equivalent to (7 + 2i)(-3 - 4i)?
malfutka [58]
B -13 -34i

(7 + 2i)(-3 - 4i)
Take the 7 then times it buy the second bracket 7x(-3-4i) then take 2i from the first bracket and times it with the second bracket 2ix (-3-4i)

Then keep simplifying

Lisa [10]

Answer:

16 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

5 2/5 + 2 1/4  Use the common denominator of 20

5 8/20 + 2 5/20  

7  13/20

I know that I will need 14 packages for the 7 pounds.  For the fraction part, 10/20 would be half, so I would need to buy a half pound for that, but I need 13/20 which would be more than a half pound, so I will need to buy 2 more pounds for the fraction part.

14 + 2 = 16
