Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to use calculus to solve this, because it's the simplest way.
The acceleration due to gravity in feet is the second derivative of the position function. We will start with the acceleration and work backwards with antiderivatives to get to the position function.
a(t) = -32. Going backwards and using the fact that the initial vertical velocity is 64 ft/sec, our velocity function is
v(t) = -32t + 64. Going backwards and using the fact that the initial height of the ball is 6 feet, our position function is
The first part of this question asks us the maximum height of the ball. From Physics, we learn that the maximum height of a projectile is reached when the velocity is 0, which happens to be right where the projectile stops for a nanosecond in the air to turn around and come back down. We set the velocity function equal to 0 and solve for t.
0 = -32t + 64 and
0 = -32(t - 2). By the Zero Product Property, either -32 = 0 or t - 2 = 0. It's obvious that -32 does not equal 0, so t - 2 must equal 0. Solving this for t:
t - 2 = 0 so
t = 2 seconds. Since the maximum height is reached at a time of 2 seconds, we plug 2 seconds into the position function to get its position at 2 seconds (which is also the max height of the ball).
and
s(2) = -64 + 128 + 6 so
s(2) = 70 feet
Now we want to know when the ball will hit the ground. "When" is a time value, and we know that the height of the ball on the ground is 0, so we sub in a 0 for s(t) and factor the quadratic.
Using the quadratic formula:
and
which gives us the 2 solutions
and
Plugging into your calculator, the first t = -.0916500 and the second t = 4.091
We all know that time cannot ever be negative, so our t value is 4.09.
Again, from Physics, we know that a projectile reaches it max height at halfway through its travels, so it just goes to follow logically that if it halfway through its travels at 2 seconds, then it will hit the ground at 4 seconds. And it does!! How awesome is that?!
Answer:
The area of the smaller triangle is 75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the ratio of the sides of the similar triangle are 5 : 6
The area if the larger triangle = 108
let us assume that the area of the smaller triangle = m
By the Theorem:
In two similar triangles, the ratio of the areas of similar triangles is the square of the ratio of their sides.
Similarly, here
= \frac{m}{108}[/tex]
⇒
or,
⇒ m = 75
Hence, the area of the smaller triangle is 75.
