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.

A sound has a sound level of 30 dB. Its intensity is what multiple of the standard reference level for intensities?
arsen [322]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀)       --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)

How is the electromagnetic spectrum organized
Vlad1618 [11]
<span>The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. Hope this helped.</span>

David lifts a book 1.2 meters from the floor to the top of his desk. If the book weighed 0.50 kg, what is the gravitational pote
Anika [276]

Answer:

5.886 J

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the book is, m=0.5 kg

Height of lift is, \Delta h=1.2 m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.81 m/s²

Now, gain in gravitational potential energy is a function of change in position and is given as:

\Delta PE=mg\Delta h

Here, \Delta PE is the change in gravitational potential energy.

Plug in 0.5 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 1.2 for \Delta h. Solve for \Delta PE

\Delta PE=0.50\times 9.81\times 1.2=5.886\ J

Therefore, the gain in gravitational energy of the book is 5.886 J.
