Answer:

2\sqrt{55}\text{ m/s or }\approx 14.8\text{m/s}

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical component of the initial launch can be found using basic trigonometry. In any right triangle, the sine of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. Let the vertical component at launch be y. The magnitude of 40\text{ m/s} will be the hypotenuse, and the relevant angle is the angle to the horizontal at launch. Since we're given that the angle of elevation is 60^{\circ}, we have:

\sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{y}{40},\\y=40\sin 60^{\circ},\\y=20\sqrt{3}(Recall that \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})

Now that we've found the vertical component of the velocity and launch, we can use kinematics equation v_f^2=v_i^2+2a\Delta y to solve this problem, where v_f/v_i is final and initial velocity, respectively, a is acceleration, and \Delta y is distance travelled. The only acceleration is acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8\:\mathrm{m/s^2}. However, since the projectile is moving up and gravity is pulling down, acceleration should be negative, represent the direction of the acceleration.

What we know:

  • v_i=20\sqrt{3}\text{ m/s}
  • a=-9.8\:\mathrm{m/s^2}
  • \Delta y =50\text{ m}

Solving for v_f:

v_f^2=(20\sqrt{3})^2+2(-9.8)(50),\\v_f^2=1200-980,\\v_f^2=220,\\v_f=\sqrt{220}=\boxed{2\sqrt{55}\text{ m/s}}

A set of 4 consecutive integers adds up to 202. What is the greatest of these integers?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

When asked such a question, try to use trial and error.

For example, the total is 202 and is made of of 4 integers which are <u>consecutive</u>(follow each other)

If you were to divide 202 by 4, you would get approximately 50

So, it would be best to try and add certain consecutive numbers(making sure 50 is one of them) till you get a total of 202

In this case, the integers would be, <em>49, 50, 51</em> and <em>52</em>

The question then further asks you ti find out which is the greatest of these integers. That would be <em>52</em>
