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

Two college teams, A and B, are playing a game of tug of war. Team A applies a force of 103 newtons, but the rope does not move
Kipish [7]
Given that the rope is not moving (acceleration is zero), by the second Law of Newton (F=m*a), the net force acting on the rope is zero.

Then, the force applied by the team B equals the force applied by the tema A: 103 N.

When do dementia come about
Cerrena [4.2K]
Dementia is a brain disease that causes a decline in memory and cognitive functioning at a much more rapid rate that is expected due to normal aging. There is no known cure and no set age that dementia can occur, but roughly 10% of people will develop it at some point in their lives. It typically affects older people and about 50% of people over 85 have dementia.
