An appropriate physics formula is

s=s0 + (1/2)at^2 + v0*t.

Here, the initial height of the stone off the ground is s0=0; the acceleration is g (the acceleration due to gravity)=-32.2 ft/(sec^2); and final height of the stone is 81 ft.  Substituting these values into the above equation gives us

81 ft = 0 ft +(1/2)(-32 ft/(sec^2))(t^2) + v0(t).  We must solve this for the initial velocity, v0.  Unfortunately, we don't yet know how long it will take for the stone to reach its max height, so both t and v0 are variables here.

81 ft = -16 ft/(sec^2)(t^2) + v0(ft/sec)(t)

Gravity will slow the upward progress of the stone:  v = v0 - 16 (ft/sec)(t).
Solving this for t:

0 = v0 - 16 (ft/sec)(t) => t = v0/[-16(ft/sec^2).  Substitute this equation for t into the previous expression and then solve the resulting equation for the initial velocity, v0.

Alternatively, use the following formula, which does not involve time, t:

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a(s).  

Using v=0, v0 unknown, a = g = -32.2 ft/(sec^2), and s = 81 feet, solve this for v0.

Use the kinematics equation:
v1^2-v0^2=2as
since v1=0 (at height of 81 ft), and a=g=-32.2, substitute values:

0-v0^2=2*(-32.2)(81 ft)
Solve for v0
v0=sqrt(2*32.2*81)=72.2 m/s

Please help me with number 5 thank you so much
ella [17]
The answer is 10 people. The way you know is because the surveyor asked the person for one answer, so if you results were 1, 0, ,10 ,7 ,13 ,2 ,9,15 ,0 and 3, then obviously only 10 people were asked because you have 10 answers.

Since a and 5 aren't like terms, you would write the expression as \frac{a+5}{b}

yuri has a rope 12 meters long. he cuts it into pieces that are each 2 meters long. what fraction of the rope is one piece
Lelu [443]
So the numerator of your fraction (the top number) is the amount that was cut. The denominator (the bottom number) is the total amount of rope. So, your fraction would be 2/12. You can still simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 and end up with 1/6. Does that make sense? If you need any more help, go ahead and message me :)
