Suppose an astronaut can jump vertically with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. The time that it takes him to touch the ground is gi

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$t=1.020s$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

$5t-0.5at^{2} =0$

Actually the given equation is the 2nd equation of motion

i.e. $S =V_{i} t+0.5at^{2}$

where $S=0$ because the astronaut jumps on the earth

and initial velocity $V_{i}=5$

to find time $t$ , put the given value of $a=9.8m/s^{2}$ in the given equation, we get

$5t-0.5(9.8)t^{2} =0\\t(5-4.9t)=0\\ \ dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ t\ we \ get\\ 5-4.9t=0\\4.9t=5\\t=\frac{5}{4.9}\\ t=1.020s$

it will take $t=1.020s$ to reach the ground if he jumps on the Earth

A department store sells a pair of shoes with an 87% markup. If the store bought the pair of shoes for $55.25, what is the selli

kolbaska11 [484]

Markup means they sell it for that percentage more than they bought it for. First let's calculate how much they will mark it up for:

$\sf 55.25\cdot 87\%$

Convert 87% into a decimal(87/100):

$\sf 55.25\cdot 0.87$

Multiply:

$\sf\approx 48$

This is how much they'll mark it up, now let's add it to how much they bought it for to find out the selling price:

$\sf 48+55.25\approx\boxed{\sf \$ 103}$
