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}

Write the equation described in each case.

Answer:

The Answer is: y = -1/4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (4, 5)

Given equation: y = -1/4x - 11

Slope: m = -1/4, a parallel line will have the same slope.

Start with the point slope form and solve for y:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -1/4(x - 4)

y - 5 = -1/4x + 1

y = -1/4x + 1 + 5

y = -1/4x + 6

Proof:

f(x) = -1/4x + 6

f(4) = -1/4(4) + 6

= -1 + 6 = 5, giving (4, 5)

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome day!!! :-)

PLEASE HELP For what value of the variable will the value of 2x+1 be 20 greater than 8x+5?
wlad13 [49]

It will be a negative.

for an example: -20 for x would mqke 2x + 1 into -39 and 8x + 5 into -155. that's 116 apart, so maybe -2(8) + 5 = -11

-2(2) + 1 = -3

but that's only 8 apart, so it'd be higher.

-4(2) + 1 = -7

-4(8) + 5 = -27

BOOM

Tadaaaa,

You probably thought positive, but sometimes it's negative, you know what I mean?

1. y = -x - 2...slope here is -1. A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
now we sub and find b, the y int
-2 = -1(2) + b
-2 = -2 + b
-2 + 2 = b
0 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = -x
=========================
2. -1 = -3/2(2) + b
    -1 = -3 + b
    -1 + 3 = b
     2 = b
parallel equation is : y = -3/2x + 2
==========================
3. parallel equation is : x = 4
==========================
4. 3 = 1/2(-2) + b
    3 = -1 + b
    3 + 1 = b
    4 = b
parallel equation is : y = 1/2x + 4
===========================
5. y + 0 = 2(x - 5)
    y = 2x - 10 <== parallel line
============================
6. neither
============================
7. if ur second equation is : 2x + y = 7, then the lines are parallel
============================
8. neither
============================
9. sometimes
============================
10. never
