On Mars the acceleration due to gravity is 12 ft/sec^2. (On Earth, gravity is much stronger at 32 ft/sec^2.) In the movie, John

Carter, it shows Carter leaping about 100 feet up on Mars. John Carter is an Earth man who has been transported to Mars so his leg muscles have been built to handle Earth's gravity while Mars' gravity is a lot less. On Earth, Michael Jordan had a vertical jump velocity of 16 ft/sec. Suppose John Carter could triple that initial jump velocity due to being on Mars, so his initial velocity would be v0= 48 ft/sec. a.) How high could he jump on Mars? b.) How long could he stay in the air before he hit the ground? c.) The movie shows Carter jumping about 100 ft high. Is that about right by the calculus? d.) What would his speed be when he hit the ground?

Solution :

Given initial velocity, v= 48 ft/s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = $12\ ft/s^2$

a). Therefore the maximum height he can jump on Mars is

     $H_{max}=\frac{v^2}{2g}$

     $H_{max} = \frac{(48)^2}{2 \times 12}$

               = 96 ft

b). Time he can stay in the air before hitting the ground is

   $T=\frac{2v}{g}$

  $T=\frac{2 \times 48}{12}$

     = 8 seconds

c).  Considering upward motion as positive direction.

     v = u + at

We find the time taken to reach the maximum height by taking v = 0.

     v = u + at

     0 = 16 + (12) t

     $t=\frac{16}{12}$

        $=\frac{4}{3} \ s$

We know that, $S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Taking t =  $=\frac{4}{3} \ s$  , we get

$S=16 \times\frac{4}{3} + \frac{1}{2}\times(-12) \times \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^2$

$S=\frac{32}{3}$  feet

Thus he can't reach to 100 ft as it is shown in the movie.

d). For any jump whose final landing position will be same of the take off level, the final velocity will be the initial velocity.

Therefore final velocity is = -16 ft/s

PLEASE HELP ASAP- solve the equation : <br> 9x^2+64=0 . i need work to be shown for credit ....
k0ka [10]
In this quadratic equation a=9 b=0 c=64, you could use the Quadratic Formula:
x = [-b +-sqrt (b^2 -4*a*c)] / 2*a
x = 0 +- sqrt (0 -4*9*64) / 2*9
x = +- sqrt(-2,304) / 18

x = + 48 i / 18
x = -48 i /18

Where "i" is the square root of minus 1.

Y= 1/3x-9
notka56 [123]

Answer:

y=3x+28

Step-by-step explanation:

so a line perpendicular to one with a slope of 1/3 would have a slope of 3/1 which is just 3

so your line would be y=3x+b

to find b you just plug in the coordinates of the point that you want it to pass through into x and y. Remember that points are written as (x,y)

10=3x-6+b

10=-18+b

28= b

the equation is y=3x+28

An experiment was conducted to compare the wearing qualities of three types of paint (A, B, and C) when subjected to the abrasiv
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

A) H0:  mean of A= mean of B= mean of C

   H1: all means are unequal

B) 3.48194

C) 0.04515

D) H0 is accepted. There is significant difference among mean hours after which visibile abrasion is observed for each type of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Here Anova test will be used as we are comparing three groups

B) mean of A= 229.6, SD of A= 158.1962, SE of A= 50.026

   mean of B= 309.9 , SD of B= 147.8742, SE of B= 46.7619

   mean of C= 427.8, SD of C= 196.8179, SE of C= 62.2393

overall mean= 322.43

degrees of freedom between groups= 3-1=2

degrees of freeddom of error= total number of observations - number of groups= 30-3= 27

total degrees of freedom= total number of samples-1= 30-1 =29

Sum of squares between groups=∑ sample size of group×(individual group mean- over all mean)²

=198772.4667

mean of sum of squares between groups= sum of squares between groups/ (number of groups -1)

  = 198772.4667/2

sum of squares of error=∑∑ (individual observation of group- group mean)²

                                            = 770670.9223

mean sum of squares of erros= sum of squares of error/(total number of samples-number of groups)

                                                       = 770670.92/27

                                                         = 28543.38

F- stat= mean sum of squares between groups/ mean sum of squares of error

     F stat= 3.48194

C) p- value= 0.04515

D) since F-stat is greater than p- value, null hypothesis is rejected

from F distribution table

F(2,27)=

A box contains 146 marbles which are either red or blue. there are 28 more blue marbles than red marbles. how many blue marbles
rusak2 [61]
R + b = 146.  Supposing that b=r+28, 

r + (r+28) = 146, or 2r + 28 = 146.

Simplifying:  2r = 118.  Then r = 59, and b = r+28 = 59+28 = 87 blue marbles
