The height of the building is \boxed{\bf 47.1\ \text{\bf meters}}.

Further explanation:

Motion is defined as the change in position of an object over time.

It is described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed.

The relations between these quantities are known as the equations of motion.

The three equations of motion are as follows:

\boxed{\begin{aligned}v&=u+at\\v^{2}&=u^{2}+2as\\s&=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^{2}\end{aligned}}

Where, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, a is the acceleration and t is time.

It is given that a baseball dropped from the roof of a tall building takes 3.1 seconds that is t=3.1\ \text{seconds}.

Therefore, the initial velocity u is 0 and acceleration will be taken as acceleration due to gravity and that is a=9.8\ m/s^{2}.

Substitute the above values in equation s=ut+\frac{1}{2}ay^{2} to obtain the height s of the building.

\begin{aligned}s&=(0\times3.1)+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(3.1)^{2}\right)\\&=0+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times9.61\right)\\&=47.089\\ &\approx47.1\end{aligned}  

Therefore, the height of the building is \boxed{\bf 47.1\ \text{\bf meters}}

Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Acceleration = 9.8 m/s²
Time = 3.1 s

s = ut + 1/2 at²
s = 1/2 x 9.8 x 3.1²
s = 47.1 m

The building is 47.1 meters tall

Find the approximate distance between (-5, 8) and (10, -7). Round your answer to two decimal places.
nadya68 [22]
Distance formula : d = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
(-5,8)(10,-7)

d = sqrt (10 - (-5)^2 + (-7 - 8)^2
d = sqrt (10 + 5)^2 + (- 15^2)
d = sqrt (15^2) + (-15^2)
d = sqrt 225 + 225
d = sqrt 450
d = 21.21

Samri and Vinita both have cell phones. Samri pays $75.89 per month plus $0.12 per text message to use his cellphone. Vinita pay
Sedaia [141]

75.89 + 0.12x = 27.41 + 0.36x

75.89 - 27.41 = 0.24x

48.48 = 0.24x

x = 48.48 / 0.24

x = 202

Each sent 202 text messages
