Doug hits a baseball straight towards a 15 ft high fence that is 400 ft from home plate. The ball is hit 2.5ft above the ground

and leaves the bat at an angle of 30∘ with the horizontal. Find the minimum initial velocity needed for the ball to clear the fence.

Answer:

125.4\ \text{m/s}

Step-by-step explanation:

u = Initial velocity of baseball

\theta = Angle of hit = 30^{\circ}

x = Displacement in x direction = 400 ft

y = Displacement in y direction = 15 ft

y_0 = Height of hit = 2.5 ft

a_y = g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2\ \text{ft/s}^2

t = Time taken

Displacement in x direction

x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}}

Displacement in y direction

y=y_0+u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow y=y_0+u\sin\theta t+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 15=2.5+u\sin30^{\circ}(\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -32.2\times (\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{400}{\sqrt{3}}-\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}-12.5=0\\\Rightarrow 218.44=\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{10304000}{3\times218.44}}\\\Rightarrow u=125.4\ \text{m/s}

The minimum initial velocity needed for the ball to clear the fence is 125.4\ \text{m/s}

A commercial property purchased for 1.2 million is revalued at 995,000. Calculate the percentage decrease in the property’s valu
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

First:

1,200,000 - 995,000 = 205,000

Then:

205,000 / 1,200,000 = 0.17

0.17 × 100% = 17%

If l=x-4 feet, w=x-5 feet, what is the area of the patio?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

20 ft.²

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the area (A) by multiplying the length (l) and width (w) of a shape together: l×w=A

Plug in the measurements for length and width and solve

      4×5=A

      20=A

The time on the clock is 5:35 set the clock below to show what time it will be in a 11 hours and 38 minutes. Thank you
lora16 [44]

A clock is 12 hours.

11 hours and 38 minutes is 22 minutes short of being a full 12 hours.

In 12 hours the time would be 5:35 again, so now subtract 22 minutes from the time:

5:35 - 22 minutes = 5:13

In 11 hours and 38 minutes, the time will be 5:13
