Once ur lines are graphed, the solution is where the lines intersect. So by graphing however many equations u have, the point where they intersect is the solution....unless of course u have parallel lines, then there is no solution. And if ur lines are coincident, the same line on top of each other, then there is infinite solutions.
vi is going in the positive direction (up). (That's my choice). a (acceleration) is going in the minus direction (down). The directions could be reversed.
Givens
vi = 160 ft/s
vf = 0 (the rocket stops at the maximum height.)
a = - 9.81 m/s
t = ????
Remark
YOu have 4 parameters between the givens and what you want to solve. Only 1 equation will relate those 4. Always always list your givens with these problems so you can pick the right equation.
Equation
a = (vf - vi)/t
Solve
- 32 = (0 - 160)/t Multiply both sides by t
-32 * t = - 160 Divide by -32
t = - 160/-32
t = 5
You will also need to solve for the height to answer part B
t = 5
vi = 160 m/s
a = - 32
d = ???
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
d = 160*5 + 1/2 * - 32 * 5^2
d = 800 - 400
d = 400 feet
Part B
You are at the maximum height. vi is 0 this time because you are starting to descend.
vi = 0
a = 32 m/s^2
d = 400 feet
t = ??
formula
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
400 = 0 + 1/2 * 32 * t^2
400 = 16 * t^2
400/16 = t^2
t^2 = 25
t = 5 sec
The free fall takes the same amount of time to come down as it did to go up. Sort of an amazing result.
Let a chord join YZ, then angle XYZ = 90° and angle XZY = 90 - 54 = 36°
angle OYZ = angle XZY = 36°
Therefore, the measure of YZ = 180 - 36 - 36 = 108°
The answer is <span>She went over by one over six of a cup
</span>
<span>1 cup of that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams: 1c = 128g
</span><span>64 grams of chocolate powder is x cups.
1c = 128g
x = 64g
1c : 128 g = x : 64g
x = </span>1c : 128 g * 64 g
x = 0.5 c
64 grams of chocolate powder is 0.5 cups = 1/2 cups
<span>She added two over three of a cup of chocolate powder: 2/3 cups
She need to add 1/2 cups: 1/2 = 3/6 cups
She added 2/3 cups: 2/3 = 4/6 cups
So she added 4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6 cups more.
