Instead of handing out candy like a well-adjusted person on Halloween, grumpy, anti-social Professor Sosa decides to stand on to

p of a 400 ft building and toss candy treats onto the ground below. If he drops a bag of candy corn, how long will it take for it to land on the ground? What will the velocity of the bag be when it hits the ground?

Answer: The bag of candy corn will take 5 seconds to land on the floor and it will hit it with velocity of 49m/s.

Step-by-step explanation: A free falling object has only Gravitational Force acting on it, so acceleration will be due to gravity, which has magnitude

g = 9.8m/s².

As Professor Sosa drops the bag, its initial velocity and time are 0.

The building has a height of 400ft, so adjusting units: y = 121.92 m and y_{0} = 0.

For this problem, going down will be the positive reference.

Then:

y=y_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{g}{2}t^{2}

\Delta y=v_{0}t+\frac{g}{2}t^{2}

121.92=\frac{9.8}{2}t^{2}

t=\sqrt{\frac{121.92*2}{9.8} }

t ≈ 5

<u>It will take </u><u>5s</u><u> for the candy corn bag to land on the ground.</u>

Acceleration is the change in velocity per change in time, so:

g=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

As initial velocity and time are 0 and rearraging it:

v = g.t

v = 9.8*5

v = 49

<u>The bag will hit the ground with </u><u>velocity</u><u> of magnitude </u><u>49 m/s.</u>

If the garden is square, then the perimeter would be 90. 15(2)+30(2)=90
810/90=9
So it would cost $9 per foot.

46 out of 200 dogs are short haired breeds. What percent of dogs are not short haired breeds
Ivahew [28]

Hi!

46 out of 200 are short haired, which means that 200 - 46 = 154 out of 200 are not short haired. In percentages, that is:

154/200 = 77/100 = 77%

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=4x-5 and passes through (-4,6)
lozanna [386]

Answer:

y=-1/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1.

Our given line:

y=4x-5

the slope (m) in it is 4. To find the slope of the perpendicular line:

4m=-1

divide by 4

m=-1/4

the slope of the new line is -1/4

here's our equation so far:

y=-1/4x+b

Since the line will pass through the point (-4,6) we can use it to solve for b (y intercept)

so substitute (-4,6) into the equation

6=-1/4(-4)+b

6=1+b

5=b

the y intercept is 5

so our equation is:

y=-1/4x+5

hope this helps! :D
