If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 40 ft/s, it height in feet after t second is given by y

=40t−16t2. Find the average velocity for the time period begining when t=2 and lasting
(i) 0.5 seconds

(ii) 0.1 seconds

(iii) 0.01 seconds

Finally based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when t=2.

We should first calculate the highest point that ball reaches. 
y' = 40 - 32t = 0
t = 40/32 = 1,25s
y = 25 feet.

To calculate average velocity we use simple formula:
Vav=s/t   where s is traveled distance by the time t.



for t=2  we calculate y
y = 16
(i)  for t = 2,5     y = 0
Vav = 16/0.5 = 32 feet/s
(ii) for t = 2.1     y = 13.44
Vav = 2.56/0.1 = 25.6 feet/s
(iii) for t = 2.01  y = 15.7584
Vav = 0.2416/0.01= 24.16 feet/s

it seems like the answer would be 24 feet/s. There is a way to calculate that.

Kepler deduced this law of motion from observations of Mars. What information confirms his conclusion that the orbit of Mars is
Leno4ka [110]

Kepler noticed an imaginary line drawn from a planet to the Sun and this line swept out an equal area of space in equal times, If we then draw a triangle out from the Sun to a planet’s position at one point in time, it is notice that the area doesn't change even after the planet has left the original position say like after 2 to 3days or 2hours. So to have same area of triangle means that the the planet move faster when that are closer to the sun and slowly when they are far from the sun.

This led to Kepler's law of orbital motion.

First Law: Planetary orbits are elliptical with the sun at a focus.

Second Law: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Third Law: The ratio of the square of the period of revolution and the cube of the ellipse semi-major axis is the same for all planets.

It is this Kepler's law that makes Newton to come up with his own laws on how planet moves the way they do.

A cyclist travels at 15 m/s during a sprint finish. What is this speed in km/h
g100num [7]

Answer:

54 km/hr

Explanation:

m/s to km/hr => 18/5

15 m/s to km/hr => 15 x 18/5 =>3 x 18 => 54km/hr
