Answer:

56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the pieces is 3:4.

The longer piece is 32 cm.

We set up a proportion to find the length of the smaller piece.

Let the length of the smaller piece be x.

3 is to 4 as x is to 32

3/4 = x/32

4x = 3 * 32

4x = 96

x = 24

The smaller piece is 24 cm.

24 cm + 32 cm = 56 cm

Answer: 56 centimeters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the other value in a ratio by dividing the value given by its corresponding value in the ratio, then multiplying the quotient by the other value in the ratio.

32 is the longer piece, and 4 is longer than 3.

32 / 4 = 8.

8 * 3 = 24

The shorter piece is 24 centimeters long.

The total length of the coil is 24 + 32, or 56 centimeters long.

A projectile is launched from ground level with an initial velocity of v0 feet per second. Neglecting air​ resistance, its heigh
lara [203]
This problem involves the use of a kinematic equation since it involves the motion of an object. The equation for the height of the object is given as:

s = -<span>16*t^2+v_o*t

Also, the initial velocity, v_o, was also said to be equal to 128 ft/s.

For the first question, </span><span>the​ time(s) that the projectile will reach a height of 240 ft when v_o is 128 feet per second, can be solved using the given equation and the quadratic formula. The resulting quadratic equation is then </span>-16*t^2 + 128*t -240 =0, where a =16, b =128, and c =-240. The quadratic formula is equal to [-b <span>± sqrt(b^2 -4ac)]/2a. This gives two answers t = 3 seconds and t = 5 seconds. This might be because the projectile has a parabolic path, thus, it reaches the height of 240 ft, before and after it reaches a peak.

For the second question, the time it takes for the projectile to reach the ground is obtained by setting the distance, s, equal to zero. In this case, t = 8 seconds.</span>
