Answer:

t = 1.82

Explanation:

Given

u = 7.70m/s -- initial velocity

s = 30.2m --- height

Required

Determine the time to hit the ground

This will be solved using the following motion equation.

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where

g = 9,8m/s^2

So, we have:

30.2 = 7.70t + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2

30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2

Subtract 30.2 from both sides

30.2 -30.2  = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2

0  = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2

0  = 7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2

7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2  = 0

4.9t^2 + 7.70t - 30.2  = 0

Solve using quadratic formula:

t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where

a = 4.9;\ b = 7.70;\ c = -30.2

t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{7.70^2 - 4*4.9*-30.2}}{2*4.9}

t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{651.21}}{9.8}

t = \frac{-7.70\±25.52}{9.8}

Split the expression

t = \frac{-7.70+25.52}{9.8} or t = \frac{-7.70-25.52}{9.8}

t = \frac{17.82}{9.8} or t = -\frac{33.22}{9.8}

Time can't be negative;  So, we have:

t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}

t = 1.82

Hence, the time to hit the ground is 1.82 seconds

A amusement park moves riders in a circle at a rate of 6.0m/s if the radius is 9.0 meters what is the acceleration of the ride
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Centripetal acceleration is (speed-squared) / (radius)

CA = (6 m/s)² / (9 m)

CA = (36 m²/s²) / (9 m)

CA = (36/9) (m²/m·s²)

<em>Centripetal acceleration = 4 m/s²</em>
