A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a building at a velocity of 16 ft/s. The building is 480 feet tall, and the accel

eration due to gravity is 32 ft/s2.
This problem can be represented using the following equation.

How much time will the ball take to reach the ground? (1/2)32t^2+16t=480

Answer:

Time, t = 5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Initial velocity = 16 ft/s

Height = 480 ft

Acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²

To find how much time it will take the ball to reach the ground, we would use the kinematic equation given by the formula;

d = V_{i}t + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}

Where;

  • d is the displacement.
  • Vi is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration or acceleration due to gravity.
  • t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

480 = 16t + \frac {1}{2}*32t^{2}

480 = 16t + 16t^{2}

Dividing all through by 16, we have;

30 = t + t^{2}

Re-arranging the quadratic equation, we have;

t^{2} + t - 30 = 0

We would solve the quadratic equation by factorization;

t^{2} + 6t - 5t - 30 = 0

t(t + 6) - 5(t + 6) = 0

(t + 6)(t - 5) = 0

t = -6 or 5

Since we know time can't be negative, we would ignore the value of -6.

<em>Therefore, time = 5 seconds</em>

Answer:

1 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Picked up 3/5 and 4/5.

Amount now:

3/5 + 4/5 - 3/8 =

= 7/5 - 3/8

= 56/40 - 15/40

= 41/40

Can someone explain Scientific Notations? I don't understand them...
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.The primary reason for converting numbers into scientific notation is to make calculations with unusually large or small numbers less cumbersome.

The equation of a circle is x2 + (y-10)2=16. The radius of the circle is units. The center of the circle is at .
aliina [53]

Answers:

Center = (0, 10)

Radius = 4

========================================================

Work Shown:

Rewrite the equation into

(x - 0)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 4^2

Then note how it is in the form

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

We see that the center is (h,k) = (0,10) and the radius is r = 4.
