On a boat ride, the skipper gives you an extra-large life preserver filled with lead pellets. When he sees the skeptical look on

your face, he says that you'll experience a greater buoyant force if you fall overboard than your friends who wear regular-sized Styrofoam-filled life preservers. True or False

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

He is correct but what he does not tell is that you will be drown. Your life preserver will submerge and displace more water than those of your friends who float at the surface. Although buoyant force on you will be greater , the net downward force on you will still be greater. Hence you will be drown inside the water.

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.70 m/s, from a height of 30.2 m. After what time interval does it

KatRina [158]

Answer:

$t = 1.82$

Explanation:

Given

$u = 7.70m/s$ -- initial velocity

$s = 30.2m$ --- height

Required

Determine the time to hit the ground

This will be solved using the following motion equation.

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where

$g = 9,8m/s^2$

So, we have:

$30.2 = 7.70t + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2$

$30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2$

Subtract 30.2 from both sides

$30.2 -30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2$

$0 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2$

$0 = 7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2$

$7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2 = 0$

$4.9t^2 + 7.70t - 30.2 = 0$

Solve using quadratic formula:

$t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Where

$a = 4.9;\ b = 7.70;\ c = -30.2$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{7.70^2 - 4*4.9*-30.2}}{2*4.9}$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{651.21}}{9.8}$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±25.52}{9.8}$

Split the expression

$t = \frac{-7.70+25.52}{9.8}$ or $t = \frac{-7.70-25.52}{9.8}$

$t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}$ or $t = -\frac{33.22}{9.8}$

Time can't be negative; So, we have:

$t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}$

$t = 1.82$

Hence, the time to hit the ground is 1.82 seconds

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

decline

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that these types of firms are in the decline stage of the product life cycle. This stage refers to when a product has already passed it's peak potential and sales begin to decline until production is ultimately halted and the product dies off. Which is exactly what is happening to the LP's since everyone has moved on to digital downloads.
