If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 144144 ft per​ sec, then its height in feet after

t seconds is given by ​s(t)equals=minus−16tsquared2plus+144144t. Find the number of seconds it will take to reach its maximum height. What is this maximum​ height?

Answer:

4.5 s, 324 ft

Explanation:

The object is projected upward with an initial velocity of

v_0 = 144 ft/s

The equation that describes its height at time t is

s(t) = -16t^2 + 144 t (1)

where t, the time, is measured in seconds.

In order to find the time it takes for the object to reach the maximum height, we must find an expression for its velocity at time t, which can be found by calculating the derivative of the position, s(t):

v(t) = s'(t) = -32t +144 (2)

At the maximum heigth, the vertical velocity is zero:

v(t) = 0

Substituting into the equation above, we find the corresponding time at which the object reaches the maximum height:

0=-32t+144\\t=\frac{144}{32}=4.5 s

And by substituting this value into eq.(1), we also find the maximum height:

s(t) = -16(4.5)^2+144(4.5)=324 ft

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

This is true,the rod with smaller elastic modulus will stretch more than larger elastic modulus.

Explanation:

σ=E*ε

ε=δ/L

σ=E*δ/L

δ=(σ*L)/E

σ=F/A

δ=(F*L)/(A*E)

As Force,Area and Length is same

δ∞1/E

From the expression as E increase δ will be small,so there will be more stretch for smaller elastic modulus.

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m
