If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 65 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by

f(t)=65t−16t2 Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=2 and lasting (i) 0.5 seconds 61.5 (ii) 0.1 seconds 65.74 (iii) 0.01 seconds 65.98 (iii) 0.001 seconds 65.99 Based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when t=2.

Answer:

a) v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s

v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s

v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s

v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s

b) v=65-32(2)=1ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we got the ball's equation of position:

y=65t-16t^{2}

a) To find the average velocity at the given time we need to use the following formula:

v=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{t_{2}-t_{1}  }

Being said that, we need to find the ball's position at t=2, t=2.5, t=2.1, t=2.01, t=2.001

y_{t=2}=65(2)-16(2)^{2} =66ft

y_{t=2.5}=65(2.5)-16(2.5)^{2} =62.5ft

v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s

--

y_{t=2.1}=65(2.1)-16(2.1)^{2} =65.94ft

v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s

--

y_{t=2.01}=65(2.01)-16(2.01)^{2} =66.0084ft

v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s

--

y_{t=2.001}=65(2.001)-16(2.001)^{2} =66.001ft

v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s

b) To find the instantaneous velocity we need to derivate the equation

v=\frac{df}{dt}=65-32t

v=65-32(2)=1ft/s

A refrigerator recieves 240 V of electricity. If it use 32 A of current, what is the resistance of the refrigerator?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

7.5 Ω

Explanation:

Voltage = Current x Resistance

(V = IR)

240 = 32 R

R = 240 / 32

= 7.5 Ω

A string is attached to a vibrating machine that has a frequency of 120 Hz. The other end of the string is passed over a pulley
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of vibration is 120Hz

The mass of object attached is 0.5kg.

We want to find the tension In the string

The tension in the string is the weight of the object, it is how much gravity is pulling the object to the centre of the earth

Using newton second law.

F_net = m•a_y

The body is not accelerating the y-direction, then, a_y = 0

F_net = 0

Force acting on the string is the weight of the object and the tension in the string

T - W = 0

T = W

Where weight is mass × gravity

W = mg

Then,

T = W = mg

T = mg = 0.5 × 9.81

T = 4.905 N

The tension in the string is 4.905 N

How do you think scientists figure out what they think the population will be in 2050?
laila [671]
They would most likely use statistics on the increase/decrease in population from previous decades and centuries. In addition to these statistics, they could use the birth and death rate and ultimately predict the increase within these next 30 years. They must also take climate change and other environmental factors into consideration when formulating such a bold prediction.
