Answer: p(t) = (-16 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (57.4 ft/s)*t

Step-by-step explanation:

We can suppose that the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force, then the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

Then we can write:

a(t) = -32 ft/s^2

Where the negative sign is because this acceleration is downwards.

Now, to get the vertical velocity of the object, we need to integrate over time to get:

v(t) = (-32 ft/s^2)*t + v0

where t represents time in seconds and v0 is the constant of integration, and in this case, is the initial vertical velocity.

In this case, the initial velocity is 57.4 ft/s upwards, then the velocity equation is:

v(t) = (-32 ft/s^2)*t + 57.4 ft/s

To get the position equation we need to integrate over time again, to get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-32 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (57.4 ft/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial height of the object, as it was launched from the ground, then the initial position is p0 = 0ft.

then the position equation (that is the function that represents the height of the object as a function over time) is:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-32 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (57.4 ft/s)*t

p(t) = (-16 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (57.4 ft/s)*t

Answer:

Speed of turtle = 11.25 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1 7/8 miles / 1/6 hour

= 15/8 / 1/6

= 15/8 * 6

= 11.25 miles/hour

A maritime flag is shown. What is the area of the shaded part of the flag? Explain
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<em></em>Area = 72in^2<em></em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Your question is incomplete without an attachment (See attachment)</em>

Required

Determine the area of the shaded part

From the attachment;

<em>Assume that the shaded portion is closed to the right;</em>

<em>Calculate  the Area:</em>

<em></em>Area_1 = Length * Width<em></em>

<em></em>Area_2 = 8in * (6in + 6in)<em></em>

<em></em>Area_2 = 8in * 12in<em></em>

<em></em>Area_1 = 96in^2<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Next;</em>

<em>Calculate the Area of the imaginary triangle (on the right)</em>

<em></em>Area_2 = \frac{1}{2} * base * height<em></em>

<em></em>Area_2 = \frac{1}{2} * (6in + 6in) * 4in<em></em>

<em></em>Area_2 = \frac{1}{2} * 12in * 4in<em></em>

<em></em>Area_2 = \frac{1}{2} * 48in^2<em></em>

<em></em>Area_2 = 24in^2<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Lastly, calculate the Area of the Shaded Part</em>

<em></em>Area = Area_1 - Area_2<em></em>

<em></em>Area = 96in^2 - 24in^2<em></em>

<em></em>Area = 72in^2<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Hence,</em>

<em>The area of the shaded part is 72in²</em>
