A grasshopper jumps straight up from the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 8 feet per second. After how many seconds w

ill the grasshopper be 1 foot off the ground?
A squirrel is 27 feet up in a tree and tosses a nut out of the tree with an initial vertical velocity of 6 feet per second. The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds. Does it reach the ground before the nut?


I don’t get the process of solving these types of problems please help me?

Answer:

Problem 1 : After 0.25 s

Problem 2 : The squirrel doesn't reach the ground before the nut

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

This is a standard physics problem

The equation that defines the movement of the grasshopper given the initial velocity, and the acceleration is the following

Distance =  Do + Vo*t + 0.5*a*t^2

Where

Do is the initial distance.

(Do = 0, because the grasshopper is on the ground and we choose the reference system there)

Vo is the initial velocity = 8 feet/sec

a is the acceleration that is exerted on the body (in this case a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 = - 32.174 feet per second per second.)

t is the time

We substitute in the equation, and solve for t (time)

Distance =  Do + Vo*t + 0.5*a*t^2

(1 foot)=  (0)+ (8 feet/s)*t + 0.5*(-32.174 feet/s^2)*t^2

Solving this equation, we get that

t = 0.25 s

Problem 2

This problem is similar to the previous one

We apply the same formula

D =  Do + Vo*t + 0.5*a*t^2

But in this case, we are going in the opposite direction, and we have an initial distance.

Do = 27 feet

Vo is the initial velocity of the nut = -6 feet/s

D = 0  (Ground)

We substitute in the equation, and solve for t (time)

(0) =  (27) + (-6 feet/s)*t + 0.5*(-32 feet/s^2)*t^2

t = 1.125 s  <  2s

The nut reaches ground in 1.125 s, so the squirrel doesn't reach the ground before the nut

Answer:

The distance between the art gallery and the office supply store is 42 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the segment that joins the office store with the art gallery, has a length that equal the distance between the art gallery and the bank, plus the distance between the bank and the office supply store. That is;

32.1 mi + 9.9 mi = 42 mi

Answer:

110

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagorean theorm

c^2 = a^2 + b^22

610^2  = 600^2 + b^2

372100 = 360000 + b^2

b^2 = 12100

b = 110

Yaro buys a baseball cap for $9.50. He also buys a new baseball. Yaro speads $13.50 altogether.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

13.5 = 9.5 + x

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, the price of the baseball cap, which is $9.50, and a baseball, whose price is unknown (and therefore must be the variable), total $13.50. So, to set up the equation add the two prices and set them equal to the total, 9.5+x=13.5.

Then, using the subtraction property of equality subtract 9.5 from both sides. This means x=4, so the baseball cost 4 dollars.
