Answer:

  • <u>0.5 s</u>   (using 1 significan figure since the initial velocity is given with 1 significant figure)

Explanation:

Let's see what each term in the function v (t) = - 9.8t + 5 means:

  • <u>Term: - 9.8 t </u>

        The variable t is the time

        The coffecient - 9.8 (which is negative) means that the velocity is reduced 9.8 m/s each second.

        That means that the motion is uniformly decelerated with acceleration - 9.8 m/s².

  • <u>Term + 5</u>

        The term + 5, means that the object was launched with an upward velocity of 5 m/s.

Hence the equation tells that after the object was launched upward it starts to lose speed and will reach a maximum height when the velocity is equal to zero, from which it starts falling.

So, you can calculate when the object reachs it maximum height and starts falling by making the velocity, v (t), equal to zero and solving for t. This is how you do it:

  • v (t) = 0
  • 0 = - 9.8t  + 5
  • 9.8t  = 5               remember that the units of 9.8 is m/s² and of 5 is m/s

  • t = 5 m/s / 9.8 m/s² = 0.51 s

So, the object starts fallin at 0.51 s. Since, the velocity is reported with 1 significant digit you answer should also show 1 significant digit, which means t = 0.5 s.

Help me... :/<br><br> Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular 45-gon.
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

7740° / 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles is given by this formula: (n - 2) * 180°. So a regular 45-gon would have interior angles that add up to: (45 - 2) * 180°. = 43 * 180°. = 7740°. Now divide that by the 45 angles to find the measure of one interior angle

hope that helped :(

Given ∆ABC≅∆PQR, mb=8v-9 , find m 31°<br> b.<br> 52°<br> c.<br> 49°<br> d.<br> 32°
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Here, 5v+6 = 8v-9
8v - 5v = 6 + 9
3v = 15
v = 15/3
v = 5

So, m<b = 5(5) + 6 = 25 + 6 = 31
As they are congruent, m<q would be same [ 31 degree ]

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

If i read 60 pages in 1 5/12 hours how long will it take me to read 120 pages
zysi [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportion

60: 1 5 /12 = 120 : x

60: 17/12 = 120:x

Product of extremes = product of mean

60*x = (17/2)*120

60*x=\frac{17}{12}*120\\\\60*x=17*10\\\\x=\frac{17*10}{60}\\\\x=\frac{17}{6}\\\\x=2\frac{5}{6}

It will take  2 5/6 hours to read 120 pages
