A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards

, 30 yards away from the player. A second kick is modeled by f(x)=−0.032x(x−50), where f is the height (in yards) and x is the horizontal distance (in yards). Compare the distances that the footballs travel before hitting the ground.

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards  

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25

and maximum height is

y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

Answer:

<h2>The second ball traveled more distance, horizontally and vertically.</h2>

Explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=-0.032x(x-50)

To find the distances that the second football travels, we need to find the vertex of its movement, because it's movement has a parabola form. The quadratic expression is

f(x)=-0.032x^{2} +1.6x

Where a=-0.032 and b=1.6

The vertex has coordinates of (h,k), where

h=-\frac{b}{2a}

Replacing values, we have

h=-\frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)}=25

Then, k=f(h)

k=f(25)=-0.032(25)^{2} +1.6(25)\\k=-20+40=20

Which means the maximum height of the second football is 20 yards. That means it travels 40 yards vertically.

Now, its horizontal distance can be found when f(x)=0

0=-0.032x^{2} +1.6x\\0=x(-0.032x+1.6)\\x_{1}=0\\ -0.032x_{2} +16=0\\x_{2}=\frac{-16}{-0.032}\\ x_{2}=500

So, its horizontal distance is 500 yards.

Comparing the distances between the footballs.

<h3>Ball 1</h3>

Horizontal distance of 30 yards.

Vertical distance of 30 yards.

<h3>Ball 2</h3>

Horizontal distance of 500 yards.

Vertical distance of 40 yards.

If we find their difference, it would be

Horizontal: 500 - 30 = 470 yards.

Vertical: 40 - 30 = 10 yards.

Therefore, the second ball traveled more distance, horizontally and vertically.

As an interstellar cloud of hydrogen gas shrinks in size, its rate of rotation
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

INCREASES, BECAUSE ITS ANGULAR MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED.

Explanation: Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen is an accumulation of Hydrogen gas in the cloud.

As the Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen shrinks (reduces) in size,the rate of rotation of the shrinked Interstellar cloud Increases because its angular momentum is conserved. GASEOUS MOLECULES MAKE UP ABOUT 99% OF THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD WITH HYDROGEN HAVING ABOUT 90% OF THE VOLUME OF GASES IN THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD.

PLS HELP<br><br> compare longitudinal and transverse waves
babymother [125]
<span>A transverse wave is one for which the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave whereas, for longitudinalwaves oscillations are in the direction of propagation. Ripples in pond water move about the surface of water and they simultaneously move away from the point-0 too.</span><span>
Longitudinal waves include sound waves(vibrations in pressure, particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions). In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of thewave.

While bats emit a wide variety of sounds, one type emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. What is the r
sdas [7]

Answer:

The range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m

Explanation:

A bat emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. It is required to find the range of wavelengths of this sound.

Bat uses ultrasonic waves. It moves with the speed of light.

If f = 39 kHz,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{39\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=7692.30\ m

If f = 78 kHz,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{78\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=3846.15\ m

So, the range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m.

The position-time equation for a cheetah chasing an antelope is:
pochemuha

Answer:

x = 1.6 + 1.7 t^2      omitting signs

a) at t = 0     x = 1.6 m

b) V = d x / d t = 3.4 t

at t = 0     V = 0

c) A = d^2 x / d t^2 = 3.4     (at t = 0  A = 3.4 m/s^2)

d)  x = 1.6 + 1.7 * (4.4)^2 = 34.5    (position at 4.4 sec = 34.5 m)
