Answer: 10.17\ seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following Quadratic equation:

y=-16x^2+153x+98

The steps to solve it are:

1. Substitute y=0 into the equation:

0=-16x^2+153x+98

2. Use the Quadratic formula x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

In this case:

a=-16\\b=153\\c=98

Substituting values into the Quadratic equation, you get (Round the values to the nearest hundreth):

x=\frac{-153\±\sqrt{153^2-4(-16)(98)}}{2(-16)}\\\\x_1=10.17\\x_2=-0.60

3. The positive value is the time that the rocket will hit the ground.

Therefore, the rocket will hit the ground after 10.17\ seconds.

A Ferris Wheel 22.0m in diameter rotates once every 12.5s. What is the ratio of a persons apperenet weight to her real weight (a
AnnZ [28]
  <span>Acceleration of a passenger is centripetal acceleration, since the Ferris wheel is assumed at uniform speed: 
a = omega^2*r 

omega and r in terms of given data: 
omega = 2*Pi/T 
r = d/2 

Thus: 
a = 2*Pi^2*d/T^2 

What forces cause this acceleration for the passenger, at either top or bottom? 

At top (acceleration is downward): 
Weight (m*g): downward 
Normal force (Ntop): upward 

Thus Newton's 2nd law reads: 
m*g - Ntop = m*a 

At top (acceleration is upward): 
Weight (m*g): downward 
Normal force (Nbottom): upward 

Thus Newton's 2nd law reads: 
Nbottom - m*g = m*a 

Solve for normal forces in both cases. Normal force is apparent weight, the weight that the passenger thinks is her weight when measuring by any method in the gondola reference frame: 
Ntop = m*(g - a) 
Nbottom = m*(g + a) 


Substitute a: 
Ntop = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2) 
Nbottom = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2) 

We are interested in the ratio of weight (gondola reference frame weight to weight when on the ground): 
Ntop/(m*g) = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g) 
Nbottom/(m*g) = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g) 

Simplify: 
Ntop/(m*g) = 1 - 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2) 
Nbottom/(m*g) = 1 + 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2) 

Data: 
d:=22 m; T:=12.5 sec; g:=9.8 N/kg; 

Results: 
Ntop/(m*g) = 71.64%...she feels "light" 
Nbottom/(m*g) = 128.4%...she feels "heavy"</span>
