Chris shoots an arrow up into the air. The height of the arrow is given by the function h(t) = - 16t2 + 64t + 23 where t is the

time in seconds. What is the maximum height of the arrow?

Completing the square gives the answer right away.

$-16t^2+64t+23=-16(t^2-4t)+23=-16(t^2-4t+4-4)+23=-16((t-2)^2-4)+23$

$\implies h(t)=-16(t-2)^2+87$

which indicates a maximum height of 87 when $t=2$ .

Answer:

The maximum height of the arrow is 87 meters.

Explanation:

If we look at the height function of the arrow

$h(t)=-16t^{2} +64t+23$

we see that its a parabola whose principal coefficient is negative, that means is inverted or upside down.

When the arrow reaches maximum height its velocity will be zero. The velocity of an object is the derivative of the position function, in this case the so called height function.

So we we derivate the height function to get that

$h'(t)=-32t+64$

we must find the t that makes this equation equal to zero:

$-32t+64=0$

$32t=64$

$t=2s$

we replace this value of t in the height function:

$h(2 s)=-16.(2s)^{2} +64.(2s)+23$

we get that

$h(2s)=87m$

The maximum height of the arrow is 87 meters.

We have used the MKS system which uses the meter, kilogram and second as base units.

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the w

A) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s$

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

$\theta= \omega t$

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

$\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad$

In degrees, it is

$15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

$v=\omega r$

where we have

$\omega=0.20 rad/s$

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s$

While playing baseball with your friends your hands begin to sting after you ctach several fast balls.

muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.

The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.

The front 1.20 m of a 1,600-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a c

eimsori [14]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

$X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t$

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

$X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t$

Clearing for time,

$t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}$

$t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}$

$t = 0.1s$

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

$a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}$

Then

$F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}$

$F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}$

$F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}$

$F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}$

$F = -384000N$

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

$V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax$

$0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)$

$a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}$

$a=480m/s^2$

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

$a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}$

$a = 53.3g$

If a car was cruising down the highway at 80 km/hr, how fast would the people inside the car be traveling?

wolverine [178]

Because the people in the car are attached to the vehicle, the people inside the vehicle are going the same speed as the vehicle.

Hope this helps! :)
