An object is propelled straight up from ground level with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second. Its height at time t is mod

eled by , where the height, s(t), is measured in feet and the time, t, is measured in seconds. a. What is the maximum height of the object and when does it occur? b. When does the object hit the ground? c. During what time interval is the height over 32 feet? Please show your work (i.e. don’t just depend on your graphing calculator!!)

Answer:

Explanation:

For a. its max height and when it occurs. First the max height. That's a y-dimension thing, and in the y-dimension we have this info:

v₀ = 48 ft/s

a = -32 ft/s/s

v = 0 (the max height of an object occurs when the final velocity of the object is 0). Use the following equation for this part of the problem:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx and filling in:

0=48^2+2(-32)Δx and

0 = 2300 - 64Δx and

-2300 = -64Δs so

Δx = 36 feet.

Now for the time it takes to get to this max height. Final velocity is still 0 here, but the equation is a different one for this part of the problem. Use:

v = v₀ + at and filling in:

0 = 48 - 32t and

-48 = -32t so

t = 1.5 sec.  That's part a. Onto part b:

The object hits the ground when its displacement, Δx, is 0. Use this equation for this problem:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in:

0=48t+\frac{1}{2}(-32)t^2 and

0=48t-16t^2 and

0 = 16t(3 - t) so

t = 0 and t = 3.  t = 0 is before the object is propelled, so it makes sense that at 0 seconds, the object was still on the ground, right? Then at 3 seconds, it's back on the ground. (Isn't math just perfectly, beautifully sensible!?) Now onto part c:

We are looking for the time interval when the object is >32 feet. So we use the same equation we just used, but with an inequality instead of an equals sign:

48t+\frac{1}{2}(-32)t^2 >32 and get everything on one side and factor it again:

-16t^2+48t-32>0 and we find that

1 < t < 2 so the time interval is between 1 and 2 seconds that the object is over 32 feet in the air.

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The average velocity of the sled is vavg = s/t.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

vavg = Δx/Δt

Where:

vavg = average velocity.

Δx = traveled distance.

Δt = elapsed time.

We already know the traveled distance (s) and also know the time it takes the sled to travel that distance (t). Then, the average velocity can be calculated as follows:

vavg = s/t

Have a nice day!

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball v_1=25m/sec

And velocity after rebound v_2=-19m/sec

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to =m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer
