Mathematics

Define
g = 9.8 32.2 ft/s², the acceleration due to gravity.

Refer to the diagram shown below.
The initial height at 123 feet above ground is the reference position. Therefore the ground is at a height of - 123 ft, measured upward.

Because the initial upward velocity is - 11 ft/s, the height at time t seconds is
h(t) = -11t - (1/2)gt²
or
h(t) = -11t - 16.1t²

When the ball hits the ground, h = -123.
Therefore
-11t - 16.1t² = -123
11t + 16.1t² = 123
16.1t² + 11t - 123 = 0
t² + 0.6832t - 7.64 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
t = (1/2) [-0.6832 +/- √(0.4668 + 30.56) ] = 2.4435 or -3.1267 s
Reject the negative answer.

The ball strikes the ground after 2.44 seconds.

Answer: 2.44 s

A cockroach traveling 2 feet per second takes how long to scurry a distance of 46 feet?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

23 Seconds

The roach is going 2 feet per second so you can split the amount of feet in half because he will go the same distance 2 times as fast.

Does the table below represent a proportional<br> relationship? Show your work to prove
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

the table does represent a propor. rela. since y=12x

you can multiply the x values by 12 and that y value will be just that, and in this case, all of them are multiplied by 12.

What property is illustrated by the statement? 0 + x = x A. Inverse Property of Multiplication B. Commutative Property of Additi
Firlakuza [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: D is the correct answer.

The property which is illustrated by the given statement is:

              D. Identity Property of Addition

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that an identity is a value which when added to any element of the set gives the resultant as the element itself.

Also, we know that the identity under addition is always: zero.

Because when zero is added to any number then the resultant is the number itself i.e. adding zero does not affect the value.

Hence, by the Identity Property of Addition we have:

                              0 + x = x

John wants to measure the width of a stream using the methods he has learned in geometry. He puts a stake in the ground opposite
otez555 [7]

John's method to determine the width of the stream uses the knowledge

that the tangent of 60° is approximately 1.7.

The proper sequence John would use to find the width of the stream are;

  • Step 1; <u>John</u><u> drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points</u>

  • Step 2; <u>John uses a </u><u>compass </u><u>to walk away from the stakes at a right angle</u>

  • Step 3; <u>On the path John walks until he finds a </u><u>line </u><u>of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees</u>

  • Step 4; <u>John drives a second </u><u>stake </u><u>in the ground</u>

  • Step 5; <u>John measures the the </u><u>distance </u><u>between the two stakes</u>

  • Step 6; <u>John </u><u>multiplies </u><u>the distance between the two stakes by</u><u> 1.7</u><u> to find the distance</u>.

Reasons:

The steps that can be used to measure the width of the stream are;

Step 1: Drive a stake opposite the tree on the other side of the stream.

Step 2: With the aid of a compass, walk at right angles to the line formed by the stake and the tree.

Step 3; Keep walking along the previous path till a point is reached where the angle formed between the line of site to the tree and the walk path is 60°.

Step 4; At the point where the line of sight to the tree is 60°, a second stake is driven in the ground.

Step 5; Measure the distance between the stakes that are placed in the ground.

Step 6; Given that by trigonometry, the ratio of the width of the stream to the distance between the two stakes is tan(60°) ≈ 1.7, multiply the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the width of the stream.

\displaystyle tan(60^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Width \ of \ stream}{Distance \ between \ stakes}}

<em>The possible question options are;</em>

<em>John measures the the distance between the two stakes</em>

<em>John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle</em>

<em>John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance</em>

<em>John drives a second stake in the ground</em>

<em>On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees </em>

<em>John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points.</em>
