a ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 110ft/sec at an angle of 20 degrees above the ground from a height of 4.5 ft.

approximentaly how long does is take for the ball to hit the ground. Acceleration due to gravity is 32ft/s^2

Answer:

t=2.47\ s  

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the height of the ball in feet as a function of time is

h(t) = h_0 + s_0t -16t ^ 2

Where h_0 is the initial height, s_0 is the initial velocity and t is the time in seconds.

We know that the initial height is:

h_0 = 4.5\ ft

The initial speed is:

s_0 = 110sin(20\°)\\\\s_0 = 37.62\ ft/s

So the equation is:

h (t) = 4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2

The ball hits the ground when when h(t) = 0

So

4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2 = 0

We use the quadratic formula to solve the equation for t

For a quadratic equation of the form

at^2 +bt + c

The quadratic formula is:

t=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

In this case

a= -16\\\\b=37.62\\\\c=4.5

Therefore

t=\frac{-37.62\±\sqrt{(37.62)^2 -4(-16)(4.5)}}{2(-16)}

t_1=-0.114\ s\\\\t_2=2.47\ s  

We take the positive solution.

Finally the ball takes 2.47 seconds to touch the ground

Please help me! The i is an imaginary number<br><br> (9+4i)^2
beks73 [17]
Answer: 2500

Explanation: I turned the I into a 1 and it turned into a 41 so I added 9+41 which is 50. Then I multiplied 50 by 50 because of the ^2 which gave me 2500. I’m assuming that you can put whatever number as a replacement for the I. I’m sorry if this answer isn’t right.

I don't know about the first one but the second one is 34.9°. It would be that because are right angles add up to 90° and if you subract 55.1 and 90 it would equal 34.9. But this rule only works on right angles.
