Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the horizontal distance the ball travels, we need to know first how long it took to hit the ground. We will find that time in the y-dimension, and then use that time in the x-dimension, which is the dimension in question when we talk about horizontal distance. Here's what we know in the y-dimension:

a = -32 ft/s/s

v₀ = 0 (since the ball is being thrown straight out the window, the angle is 0 degrees, which translates to no upwards velocity at all)

Δx = -15 feet (negative because the ball lands 15 feet below the point from which it drops)

t = ?? sec.

The equation we will use is the one for displacement:

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in:

-15=(0)t+\frac{1}{2}(-32)t^2 which simplifies down to

-15=-16t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-15}{-16} } so

t = .968 sec (That is not the correct number of sig fig's but if I use the correct number, the answer doesn't come out to be one of the choices given. So I deviate from the rules a bit here out of necessity.)

Now we use that time in the x-dimension. Here's what we know in that dimension specifically:

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is always 0)

v₀ = 80 ft/sec

t = .968 sec

Δx = ?? feet

We use the equation for displacement again, and filling in what we know in this dimension:

Δx = (80)(.968) +(0)(.968)^2 and of course the portion of that after the plus sign goes to 0, leaving us with simply:

Δx = (80)(.968)

Δx = 77.46 feet

A portrait has dimensions of 30“ x 60“ and is surrounded by a frame of uniform width. If the total area (Portrait plus frame) is
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The width of the is 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the width of the frame is x

∵ The width of the fame is x inches

→ That means each dimension will increase by 2x ⇒ x from each side

∵ The portrait has dimensions of 30“ x 60“

∴ Its dimensions including the frame = (30 + 2x) × (60 + 2x)

∴ The total area of the portrait plus frame = (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x)

→ Multiply the brackets

∵ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 30(60) + 30(2x) + 2x(60) + (2x)(2x)

∴ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 1800 + 60x + 120x + 4x²

→ Add the like terms

∴ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 1800 + 180x + 4x²

∴ The total area of the portrait plus frame = 4x² + 180x + 1800

∵ The total area of the portrait plus frame = 2584 square inches

→ Equate the two right sides of the area

∴ 4x² + 180x + 1800 = 2584

→ Subtract 2584 from both sides

∴ 4x² + 180x + 1800 - 2584 = 0

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ 4x² + 180x - 784 = 0

→ Divide all terms by 4 to simplify

∴ x² + 45x - 196 = 0

→ Factorize it to find the value of x

∵ x² + 45x - 196 = (x - 4)(x + 49)

→ Equate the right side by 0

∴ (x - 4)(x + 49) = 0

→ Equate each factor by 0

∵ x - 4 = 0  

→ Add 4 to both sides to find x

∴ x = 4

∵ x + 49 = 0

→ Subtract 49 from both sides to find x

∴ x = -49 ⇒ refused it x can not be -ve (no negative dimensions)

∴ The width of the is 4 inches
