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.

1. A ball falls from a height "h" from a tower. Which of the following statements is true?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

the total kinetic and potential energy of the ball is constant (mechanical energy remains the same)

Explanation:

As the ball falls, kinetic energy is increased in direct relation with the decrease in potential energy

The eiffel tower is a steel structure whose height increases by 19.5 cm when the temperature changes from −8 to +42 °c. what is
Readme [11.4K]
 The coefficient of expansion is 13 * 10^-6 m per meter length.per oK 
The temperature difference = 42 - - 8 = 50 oC 
delta T = (42 + 273) - (-8 + 273) = 50 oK 
delta L = L * 13* 10^6 m/oK 
oK = 50 oK delta L = 19.5 cm = 19.5 cm [1m / 100 cm] = 0.195m 
So we need to find the length and it is computed by:
0.195= L * 13 * 10^-6 * 50 L = 0.195 / (13*10^-6*50) L = 300 m

How would the magnetic field lines appear for a bar magnet cut at the midpoint, with the two pieces placed end to end with a spa
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

cutting the magnet in two parts each part has a North and South pole,

Explanation:

In magnetism the magnetic mono-poles are not found, this means that we do not have magnetic charges alone, therefore when cutting the magnet in two parts each part has a North and South pole, the magnetic lines go from the North pole to the South pole, see attached.

The density of the lines is approximately the intensity of the magnetic field.

An automobile having a mass of 2000 kg deflects its suspension springs 0.02 m under static conditions. Determine the nafural fre
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:Frequency = 3.525 Hertz

Explanation:In static equilibrium, kd =mg

Where k= effective spring constant of the spring.

mg= The weight of the car.

d= static deflection.

Therefore, w =SQRTg/d

w = SQRT 9.81/0.02

w= 22.15 rad/sec

Converting to Hertz unit for frequency

1 rad/s = 0.1591

22.15rad/s=?

22.15 × 0.1591= 3.525 hertz
