Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

What is the relationship between an object’s mass and its gravitational potential energy?.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

If we’re talking about objects on the Earth, the gravitational potential energy is given by:

Explanation:

PEg=mgh

so the energy is proportional to the mass ( m ), but also to the strength of the gravitational field ( g ), and the height ( h ) to which the mass is lifted.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>
