Explorers on a planet with a thin atmosphere want to measure the acceleration of gravity at its surface. So they use a spring gu

n to launch a ball bearing vertically upward from the surface with a launch velocity of 29 ms. If we denote by gs the acceleration of gravity in that planet, in ms2, then the ball bearing will move following the formula:
s(t) = 30(t) - [gs/2][t^2]

If the ball bearing reaches its maximum height 21 seconds after being launched, what is the value of gs?

Answer:

The value of g_s is g_s=\frac{30}{21} \:\frac{m}{s^2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the position function is given by

s(t)=30t-\frac{g_s}{2} t^2

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position. Therefore,

v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(s(t))

So, the velocity function is

v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(s(t))\\\\v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(30t-\frac{g_s}{2} t^2)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}\left(30t\right)-\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{g_s}{2}t^2\right)\\\\v(t)=30-g_st

When a body reaches a vertical velocity of zero, this is the maximum height of the body and then gravity will take over and accelerate the object downward. Thus,

v(t)=30-g_st=0\\\\g_s=\frac{30}{t}

We know that the ball bearing reaches its maximum height 21 seconds after being launched (t = 21 s).

So, the value of g_s is g_s=\frac{30}{21} \:\frac{m}{s^2}.

a recipe for one pumpkin pie calls for 1 1/4 cups of sugar Elena only has 1/2 cup of sugar and she needs to make for pumpkin pie
seraphim [82]

Answer: she would need four and a half cups more of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to add together all of them sugar she would have needed so (1 1/4 times 4) and then subtract what she already had and that gives you 4 and 1/2 cups she would need. Hope this helps

Which expressions are equivalent to 2(b+3c)?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

B. (b+3c)+(b+3c)

C. 2(b)+2(3c)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2(b+3c)

Distribute the number 2

2(b+3c)=2b+2(3c)=2b+6c

Verify each case

case A) 3(b+2c)

distribute the number 3

3(b+2c)=3b+3(2c)=3b+6c

3b+6c \neq 2b+6c

therefore

Choice A is not equivalent to the given expression

case B) (b+3c)+(b+3c)

Combine like terms

b+3c)+(b+3c)=(b+b)=(3c+3c)=2b+6c

2b+6c= 2b+6c

therefore

Choice B is equivalent to the given expression

case C) 2(b)+2(3c)

Multiply both terns by 2

2(b)+2(3c)=2b+6c

2b+6c= 2b+6c

therefore

Choice C is equivalent to the given expression
