Answer:

3.35 s after the rock is thrown, it will be 12 m above the water

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The height of the rock can be calculated using the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the rock at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference on the water so that y0 = 20 m.

Using the equation of height, we can obtain the time at which the rock is at a height of 12 m above the water:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

12 m = 20 m + 14 m/s · t + 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · t²

subtract 12 to both sides of the equation:

0 = -12 + 20 m + 14 m/s · t - 4.9 m/s² · t²

0 = 8 m + 14 m/s · t - 4.9 m/s² · t²

Let´s solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

a = -4.9

b = 14

c = 8

t = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a

t = 3.35 s and t = -0.49 s

Since time can´t be negative, the rock will be 12 m above the water 3.35 s   after it is thrown.

5 men take 45hours to build a wall.how long will it take 9men working at the same wall?​
Karolina [17]

Answer:

<u>25 hours</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 5 men 45 hours to build a wall.

So, if no. of men increases by 1.8 [∴ 5 x 1.8 = 9],

then time taken reduces by that same amount.

=> 45 hours / 1.8

=> 45 / (9/5)

=> 45 x 5 / 9

=> 5 x 5

=> <u>25 hours</u>

Given that sin x = cos 2x find the value of x​
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The most straightforward way to obtain the expression for cos(2x) is by using the "cosine of the sum" formula: cos(x + y) = cosx*cosy - sinx*siny. cos(2x) = cos² (x) - (1 - cos²(x)) = 2cos²(x) - 1. = 2cos²(x) - 1.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Your movie marathon will last 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Each movie lasts \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 hours. How much do 4 movies last?

So

1 movie - 1.5 hours

4 movies - x hours

x = 4*1.5 = 6

Your movie marathon will last 6 hours.
