Answer:

Explanation:

There's an easy way to answer this and then an easier way. I'll do both since I'm not sure what you're doing this for: physics or calculus. Calculus is the easier way, btw.

Going with the physics version first, here's what we know:

a = -9.8 m/s/s

v₀ = 3.75 m/s

t = ??

That's not a whole lot...at least not enough to directly solve the problem. What we have to remember here is that at the max height of a parabolic path, the final velocity is 0. So we can add that to our info:

v = 0 m/s. Use the one-dimensional equation that utilizes all that info and allows us to solve for time:

v = v₀ +at and filling in:

0 = 3.75 + (-9.8)t and

-3.75 = -9.8t so

t = .38 seconds. This is how long it takes to get to its max height. Another thing we need to remember (which is why calculus is so much easier!) is that at the halfway point of a parabolic path (the max height), the object has traveled half the time it takes to make the whole trip. In other words, if .38 is how long it takes to go halfway, then 2(.38) is how long the whole trip takes:

2(.38) = .76 seconds. Now onto the calculus way:

The position function is

s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.75t The first derivative of this is the velocity function and, knowing that when the velocity is 0, the time is halfway gone, we will find the velocity function and then set it equal to 0 and solve for t:

v(t) = -9.8t + 3.75 and

0 = -9.8t + 3.75 and

-3.75 = -9.8t so

t = ,38 and multiply that by 2 to find the time the whole trip took:

2(.38) = .76 seconds.

Pavel [41]

Answer: A.The ocean is colder than the land

Explanation:

Based on the information provided in the question, we are informed that Agustin visits Panama City, Florida, during the month of May and that he feels a shore breeze blowing from the ocean onto the beach.

The reason for the shore breeze is simply due to the fact that the ocean is colder than the land. Since the ocean is colder, anyone who goes to the beach will feel the breeze.
