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>

(11 + 21) - ( 3 - 100 )
= 32 + 97
= 129

or (11+21)-(3+100)
= 32 - 103
= - 71


I have no idea about your topic but hope it's right! Good luck

Which of the following values is a solution of |2-x| less than 4
morpeh [17]

The correct answer is -1.

In order to solve this, we need to split into the positive and negative version of the answers. Let's start with the positive version.

2 - x < 4

-x < 2

x > -2 ----> NOTE: When we divide by -1, we have to change the direction of the sign.

Now we'll do the negative version.

2 - x > -4

-x > -6

x < 6

So we know the number must be greater than -2, but less than 6. The only number on this list that fits that is -1.

Simplify <br> 1+sinx/cosx+cosx/1+sinx
Dmitry [639]
\frac{1 + sin(x)}{cos(x)} + \frac{cos(x)}{1 + sin(x)}
\frac{[1 + sin(x)][1 +sin(x)]}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]} + \frac{cos(x)[cos(x)]}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]}
\frac{1 + 2sin(x) + sin^{2}(x)}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]} + \frac{cos^{2}(x)}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]}
\frac{1 + 2sin(x) + sin^{2}(x) + cos^{2}(x)}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]}
\frac{1 + 2sin(x) + 1}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]}
\frac{1 + 1 + 2sin(x)}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]}
\frac{2 + 2sin(x)}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]}
\frac{2[1 + sin(x)]}{cos(x)[1 + sin(x)]}
\frac{2}{cos(x)}
