Answer:

The equation that models the situation is s_{f} = 4+\frac{v_{f}^{2}-2500}{64.348}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected, so that the softball can be modelled experiment a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity. From we know the initial velocity and position of the position and we can determine the final position of the ball as a function of the final velocity:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot (s_{f}-s_{o}) (1)

Where:

s_{o}, s_{f} - Initial and final position of the softball, measured in feet.

a - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

v_{o}, v_{f} - Initial and final velocities of the softball, measured in feet per second.

If we know that v_{o} = 50\,\frac{ft}{s}, a = -32.174\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and s_{o} = 4\,ft, then the equation that models the situation is:

v_{f}^{2} = 2500-64.348\cdot (s_{f}-4)

Then, we clear the final position of the softball:

-\frac{v_{f}^{2}-2500}{-64.348} = s_{f}-4

s_{f} = 4+\frac{v_{f}^{2}-2500}{64.348}

The equation that models the situation is s_{f} = 4+\frac{v_{f}^{2}-2500}{64.348}.

Any number divisivble by 2 is also divisible by 8. Find a counter example to show that the conjecture is false.
Vladimir [108]
In the case of whole numbers, dividing 2 by itself would prove the conjecture false.


2/2 = 1

2/8 = 0.25

Choose the smallest fraction? 3/4 1/5 3/10 1/7
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Hey there!

3/4= 0.75

1/5=0.2

3/10=0.3

1/7=0.14

Thus, 1/7 is the smallest fraction.

Hope this helps :)

Is it possible to find another line that’s parallel to 3x+9y=1 and passes through (0, 1/9)
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

no it is not

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+9y=1 simplified is

9y=-3x+1

y=-1/3x+1/9

this is the exact same equation as 3x+9y=1, so you cannot find another line thats parallel to it and passes through that same point (it'll always be that point)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get # of ounces in total:

24*3= 72

Then multiply: (0.0625 equals 1 ounce in pounds)

72* 0.0625= 4.5

Hope this helps!
