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

I really need help please !!!
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2

(5+x) * 5 = 10^2

Distribute

25 +5x = 100

Subtract 25 from each side

25-25 +5x = 100-25

5x= 75

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 75/5

x = 15

A particular chemistry book costs $6 less than a particular physics book, while two such chemistry books and three such physics
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the Physics book costs $x

The Chemistry book will cost $x - $6

Two such Chemistry books will cost;

2($x - $6) = $(2x - 12)

Three such Physics books cost $3x

$(2x - 12) + $3x = $123

$5x - $12 = $123

$5x = $111

x = $22\frac{1}{5}

So the Physics book costs;  $22\frac{1}{5}

and the Chemistry book costs  $22\frac{1}{5} - 6 =  $16\frac{1}{5}
