On the planet Jupiter, a ball this thrown upward at a velocity at 10m/s. It's height, h(t) meters after t seconds is given by th

e equation h(t)=-12.5(t-0.4)^2+4.
a) what is the maximum height the ball reaches?


b) what was the height of the ball when it was released from the throwers hand?

Answer:

a) The maximum height that the ball reaches is 4 meters.

b) The height of the ball when it is released from thrower's hand is 2 meters.

c) The ball will take approximately 0.966 seconds to hit the surface of Jupiter.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let h(t) = -12.5\cdot (t-0.4)^{2}+4, where t and h(t) are the time and height, measured in seconds and meters. Since this equation is in vertex form, the maximum height corresponds to the value associated with the dependent variable (height). That is:

h(t) -4 = -12.5\cdot (t-0.4)^{2}

Hence, the maximum height that the ball reaches is 4 meters.

b) The height of the ball when the ball is released from thrower's hand is the height of the ball at t = 0\,s. Then, we evaluate the function:

h(0) = -12.5\cdot (0-0.4)^{2}+4

h(0) = 2\,m

The height of the ball when it is released from thrower's hand is 2 meters.

c) The instants when the ball hits the ground are those instants t so that h(t) = 0. Then:

-12.5\cdot (t-0.4)^{2}+4 = 0

-12.5\cdot (t^{2}-0.8\cdot t +0.16)+4 = 0

-12.5\cdot t^{2}+10\cdot t +2 = 0

By the Quadratic Formula we obtain the following roots:

t_{1} \approx 0.966\,s, t_{2}\approx -0.166\,s

Only the first root is physically reasonable, since time is a positive real variable.

The ball will take approximately 0.966 seconds to hit the surface of Jupiter.

The graph of y = h(x) is a line segment joining the points (1, -5) and (9,1).
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Ok, i cant drag the endpoints of the segment, but i can tell you how to do it.

First, we know that h(x) joins the points (1, -5) and (9, 1), then h(x) is a line:

h(x) = s*x + b

First, for a line that goes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope will be:

s = (y2 -y1)/(x2 - x1)

Then in this case, the slope is:

s = (1 - (-5))/(9 - 1) = 0.75

Then we have

h(x) = 0.75*x + b

now, the value of b can be found as:

h(1) = -5 = 0.75*1 - b

b = - 5 - 0.75 = -5.75.

Then our equation is:

h(x) = 0.75*x - 5.75

Now, i gues you want to find the graph of:

y = h(-x)

Then our new function is:

g(x) = h(-x) =  -0.75*x - 5.75.

Now to find the points, we evaluate this function in the same values of x as before.

g(1) = -0.75*1 - 5,75 = -6,5

the point is (1, -6.5)

the second point is when x = 9.

g(9) = -0.75*9 - 5.75 = -12.5

The second point is (9, -12.5)

Nata [24]
The probability is 1/2. Even if you flip heads 100 times in a row, you still have a 50/50 chance of flipping heads or tails. The probability does not change no matter how many times you flip a certain side.

I hope this helps!
