Sample Response: There is a common ratio of 2/3 between the height of the ball at each bounce. So, the bounce heights form a geometric sequence: 27, 18, 12. Two-thirds of 12 is 8, so on the fourth bounce, the ball will reach a height of 8 feet.

If x is the peak of the ball and y is the peak of the previous bounce, the formula can be used below to describe the sequence:

y * (2/3) = x
12 * (2/3) = x
8 = x

The ball reaches 8 ft on its fourth bounce.

A car is moving with speed 60 m/s and acceleration 4 m/s2 at a given instant. (a) using a second-degree taylor polynomial, estim
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using second degree taylor polynomials

let S(t) be position function and set S(0)=0

where S(0) is the initial position

Then v(t) = S^i(t) and a(t)=S^{ii}(t)

we have v(0) = 60m/s, a(0) = 4m/s^2

so T_{2}(t) =S(0)+v(0)t+\frac{a(0)}{2} t^2\\\\\\=0+60t+\frac{4}{2} t^2\\\\T_{2}(t)=60t+2t^2\\\\S(1)=T_{2}(1)=60+2=62m

b.) yes

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

After 24.0 days 2.00 milligrams of an original 128.0. Milligram sample remain what is the half life of the sample
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

4 days

either multiply 128 by .5 until you get to 2 counting each time or use 2 formulas ln(n2/n1)=-k(t2-t1) to get k then input k into ln(2)=k*t1/2

n2 is final amount and n1 is beginning and t is either time elapsed as in the first formula or the actual half life that is t1/2
