An object is dropped from 26 feet below the tip of the pinnacle atop a 702 ft tall building. The height h of the object after t

seconds is given by the equation h=-16t^2+676. Find how many seconds pass before the object reaches the ground.

Answer:

6.5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given: h=-16t²+679

When the object reaches the ground, h=0.

∴ 0=-16t²+679

collecting like terms,

⇒ 16t²=679

Dividing both side of the equation by the coefficient of t² i.e 16

⇒ 16t²/16 = 679/16

⇒ t² = 42.25

taking the square root of both side of the equation.

⇒ √t² =√42.25

⇒ t = 6.5 seconds.

A bowling ball rolls 33\,\text m33m33, start text, m, end text with an average speed of 2.5\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}2.5 s m 2

asambeis [7]

The ball rolled for 13.2 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Speed is scalar and no direction

$\tt avg~speed=\dfrac{total~distance}{elapsed~time}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

A bowling ball rolls 33 m, with average speed = 2.5 m/s

So elapsed time :

$\tt t=\dfrac{33~m}{2.5`m/s}=13.2~s$

Define , gravitational acceleration

Vitek1552 [10]

The simplest answer would be "acceleration due to gravity."

The exact value of this acceleration changes depending on which planet your on (for example).

A pendulum is made by letting a 4 kg mass swing at the end of a string that has a length of 1.5 meter. The maximum angle that th

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Approximately $7.8\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum is directly related to the change in its height.

Refer to the sketch attached. The pendulum is initially at $\rm P_2$ . Its highest point is at $P_1$ . The length of segment $\rm BP_2$ gives the change in its height.

The lengths of $\rm AP_1$ and $\rm AP_2$ are simply the length of the string, $1.5\; \rm m$ . To find the length of $\rm BP_2$ , start by calculating the length of $\rm AB$ .

$\rm AB$ forms a leg in the right triangle $\rm \triangle AP_1B$ . Besides, it is adjacent to the $30^\circ$ angle $\rm P_1\hat{A}B$ . Its length would be:

$\rm AB = 1.5 \times \cos(30^\circ) \approx 1.30\; \rm m$ .

The length of $\rm BP_2$ would thus be

$\rm BP_2 = AP_2 - AB = 1.5 - 1.30 \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ .

The change in gravitational potential energy can be found with the equation

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = m \cdot g \cdot \Delta h$ . In this equation,

$m$ is the mass of the object,
$g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth, and
$\Delta h$ is the change in the object's height.

In this case, $m = 4\; \rm kg$ and $\Delta h \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ . Therefore:

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = 4 \times 9.81 \times 0.20 \approx 7.8\; \rm J$ .
