Answer:

6.3m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Note: We will take g as 9.8 in this question.</u>

The two equations we will use for this questions are:

G.P.E = mgh, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

and the SUVAT equation: v^2=u^2+2as

First, let's start out by finding the height from which the object is being dropped. We can do this by using the gravitational potential energy formula.

Subbing the values we have:

50 = 2.5*9.8*h

h = 2.04 - re-arranging for the height we get a height of 2.04.

Now we will use the SUVAT equation. Let's set out the variables we have:

S=2.04\\U=0\\V=?\\A=9.8\\T=N/A

U (initial speed) is equal to 0 because we are dropping the object from rest. Acceleration is equal to 9.8 as that is the acceleration due to gravity. The displacement (S) is the height we just worked out.

Now let's put them into one of the SUVAT equations:

v^2=u^2+2as

v^2=(0)^2+2(9.8)(2.04)

v^2=39.984

v=6.3 m/s

Express the statement "A rectangular field with an area of 120m' has it length 12mn longer than the width" as quadratic equation
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The quadratic equation is x^2 -12x -120 = 0

where x represents the length of the field

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to make an expression in terms of a quadratic equation;

Let the length of the field be x mm , then the width will be (x-12) mm

Mathematically , the area of the field will be L * B

Thus;

x * (x-12) = 120

That gives;

x^2 -12x = 120

x^2 -12x -120 = 0

Find the diameter of Oo. A line that appears to be tangent is tangent. If your answer is not a whole
Trava [24]

Answer:

Diameter = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the diameter be represented as x.

Based on the secant-tangent theorem, the following equation representing the relationship between the segments would be:

(16 + x)(16) = 20²

256 + 16x = 400

Subtract 256 from each side

16x = 400 - 256

16x = 144

Divide both sides by 16

x = 144/16

x = 9

Diameter = 9
