Are you missing information and or a picture that was provided?
vi is going in the positive direction (up). (That's my choice). a (acceleration) is going in the minus direction (down). The directions could be reversed.
Givens
vi = 160 ft/s
vf = 0 (the rocket stops at the maximum height.)
a = - 9.81 m/s
t = ????
Remark
YOu have 4 parameters between the givens and what you want to solve. Only 1 equation will relate those 4. Always always list your givens with these problems so you can pick the right equation.
Equation
a = (vf - vi)/t
Solve
- 32 = (0 - 160)/t Multiply both sides by t
-32 * t = - 160 Divide by -32
t = - 160/-32
t = 5
You will also need to solve for the height to answer part B
t = 5
vi = 160 m/s
a = - 32
d = ???
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
d = 160*5 + 1/2 * - 32 * 5^2
d = 800 - 400
d = 400 feet
Part B
You are at the maximum height. vi is 0 this time because you are starting to descend.
vi = 0
a = 32 m/s^2
d = 400 feet
t = ??
formula
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
400 = 0 + 1/2 * 32 * t^2
400 = 16 * t^2
400/16 = t^2
t^2 = 25
t = 5 sec
The free fall takes the same amount of time to come down as it did to go up. Sort of an amazing result.
Answer: 30
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we're going to have to use the Pythagorean theorem...
a² + b² = c²
24² + 18² = c²
576 + 324 = c²
c² = 900
30
30 = c
I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, calculate 6-9, which is -3.
Then we add 9 on both sides so that on the left, we only have 4x, and on the right, we have 6.
Then divide by 4 on both sides to get x = 1.5
Answer:
slope= 11
Step-by-step explanation:
(12,23) = (x1,y1)
(14,45) = (x2,y2)
Now,
slope(m)= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(45-23)/(14-12)
=22/2
=11
