Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the method of prime factors
8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³
2 = 2
5 = 5
Then LCM = 2³ × 5 = 8 × 5 = 40
The initial kick is the first force applied to the ball. It sends the ball up into the air (at some angle). If gravity wasn't present, then the ball would go upward forever in a straight line. However, gravity is the second force pulling down on the ball. This explains why the ball hits some peak point or highest point before it is pulled to the ground. Overall, the path the ball takes is a parabolic arch.
In short, the two forces are the initial kick and gravity.
side note: technically air resistance (aka air friction or drag) is a force being applied since the air pushes against the ball to slow it down, but often air resistance is really complicated and beyond the scope of many math courses. So your teacher may want you to ignore air resistance.
Another note: the initial kick is a one time force that only happens at the beginning. Once the ball is in the air, that force isn't applied anymore. In contrast, the force of gravity is always present and always pulling down. It's probably incredibly obvious, but it's worth pointing out this difference.
Answer:
Either 130 or 131 would be acceptable.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we estimate, we do not use exact values.
66.17 is close to 66
44.98 is close to 45
20.15 is close to 20
Add the estimates together: 66+ 45+ 20 = 131
We could also estimate 66.17 to 65 which would give us an estimate of 130
This is the transitive property :)
