Answer:

The ball is at a height of 120ft when t = 2.2 and when t = 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -16t^{2} + v(0)t

A ball is thrown vertically in the air with a velocity of 90ft/s.

This means that v(0) = 90. So

h = -16t^{2} + 90t

Use the projectile formula h=−16t2+v0t to determine at what time(s), in seconds, the ball is at a height of 120ft.

This is t when

-16t^{2} + 90t = 120

16t^{2} - 90t + 120 = 0

Finding t

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this problem:

16t^{2} - 90t + 120 = 0

So a = 16, b = -90, c = 120

\bigtriangleup = (-90)^{2} - 4*16*120 = 420

t_{1} = \frac{-(-90) + \sqrt{420}}{2*16} = 3.5

t_{2} = \frac{-(-90) - \sqrt{420}}{2*16} = 2.2

The ball is at a height of 120ft when t = 2.2 and when t = 3.5.

Answer:

t=1.7 \ sec\ , t=4.0\ sec

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Vertical Throw</u>

It refers to a situation where an object is thrown verticaly upwards with some inicial speed v_o and let in free air (no friction) until it completes its movement up and finally returns to the very same point of lauch. The only acting force is gravity

The projectile formula is given as

h=-16t^2+v_0t

where t is time in seconds, h is the height in feet and v is the speed in ft/sec

We are required to find the time t where h=120 ft, knowing v_o=90\ ft/sec

-16t^2+90t=120

Rearranging

-16t^2+90t-120=0

This is a second-degree equation which will be solved with the formula

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\displaystyle x=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{90^2-4(-16)(-120)}}{2(-16)}

\displaystyle x=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{1380}}{-32}

Two solutions are obtained

\boxed{t=1.7 \ sec\ , t= 4.\ sec}

Both solutions are possible because the ball actually is at 120 ft in its way up and then when going down

Three angles of an irregular octagon are 100 degrees, 120 degrees, and 140 degrees. The remaining angles are congruent. Find the
STatiana [176]

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° × (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 8 ( octagon ), hence

sum = 180° × 6 = 1080°

let the measure of 1 congruent angle be x

Then sum the 8 angles and equate to 1080

100 + 120 + 140 + 5x = 1080

360 + 5x = 1080 ( subtract 360 from both sides )

5x = 720 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 144

Thus each of the 5 congruent angles is 144°

Find the missing value to the nearest hundredth. cos_= 6/19
Olenka [21]

Let , missing value(_)=A

As, it is given that ,

CosA=\frac{6}{19}\\\\ Cos A=0.3158\\\\ A=72 {\text{Degree}}

To convert the value of A into Radians,

360°=2 π Radians

1 {\text{degree}}=\frac{\pi}{180}\\\\72 {\text{Degree}} =\frac{72\times 22}{180 \times 7}\\\\=1.2571

So, missing value to the nearest hundredth= 1.26 Radians

The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x. If y = 35 when X = 140, what is the
vekshin1

Answer:

17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

soln:

given,

since, x and y are directly proportional

and x=140, y=35

dividing x by y we get,

x/y=140/35

or,x/y=4/1

or,x=4y

when x=70,

x=4y

or,70=4y
