Answer:

The child will take 5.952 seconds to travel from the top of the hill to the bottom.

Explanation:

Given that the child accelerates uniformly and that both initial (v_{o}) and final speeds (v_{f}), measured in meters per second, and acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second, are known, we proceed to use the following kinematic equation to determine the time taken to travel from the top of the hill to the bottom (t), measured in seconds, is:

t = \frac{v_{f}-v_{o}}{a} (1)

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{f} = 17.5\,\frac{m}{s} and a = 2.94\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the time taken is:

t = \frac{17.5\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s} }{2.94\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

t = 5.952\,s

The child will take 5.952 seconds to travel from the top of the hill to the bottom.

Velocity of a Hot-Air Balloon A hot-air balloon rises vertically from the ground so that its height after t sec is given by the
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the height reached by a balloon after t sec modeled by the equation

h=1/2t²+1/2t

a) To calculate the height of the balloon after 40 secs we will substitute t = 40 into the modeled equation and calculate the value of t

If h(t)=1/2t²+1/2t

h(40) = 1/2(40)²+1/2 (40)

h(40) = 1600/2 + 40/2

h(40) = 800 + 20

h(40) = 820 feet

The height of the balloon after 40 secs is 820 feet

b) Velocity is the change of displacement of a body with respect to time.

v = dh/dt

v(t) = 2(1/2)t²⁻¹ + 1/2

v(t) = t + 1/2

when v = 0sec

v(0) = 0 + 1/2

v(0) = 1/2 ft/sec

at v = 30secs

v(30) = 30 + 1/2

v(30) = 30 1/2 ft/sec

average velocity = v(30) - v(0)

average velocity = 30 1/2 - 1/2

average velocity of the balloon between t = 0 and t = 30 = 30 ft/sec

c) Velocity is the change of displacement of a body with respect to time.

v = dh/dt

v(t) = 2(1/2)t²⁻¹ + 1/2

v(t) = t + 1/2

The velocity of the balloon after 30secs will be;

v(30) = 30+1/2

v(30) = 30.5ft/sec

The velocity of the balloon after 30 secs is 30.5 feet/sec
