Answer:

y = 160t - 16t²

Explanation:

Using y = ut -1/2gt² where y = height of heavy rock above the ground, u = initial launch velocity of rock = 160 ft/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s² and t = time.

So, substituting the values of the variables into y, we have

y = (160 ft/s)t -1/2 × 32 ft/s² × t²

y = (160 ft/s)t - (16 ft/s²)t²

y = 160t - 16t²

So, the height function is y = 160t - 16t²

1. El puente mas largo del mundo es el puente Akashi Kaikyo, en Japón. El puente mide 3910 m de largo y está construido con acer
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

It's 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. It represents a 1.6 centimeters difference between seasons.

Explanation:

The linear coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is about 1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1}. From the equation of linear thermal expansion, we have:

L_f=L_0(1+\alpha\Delta T)

Taking the winter day as the initial, and the summer day as the final, we can take the relationship between them:

L_{summer}=L_{winter}[1+(1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1})(30\°C+5\°C)]\\\\L_{summer}=(1.0000042)L_{winter}

It means that the bridge is 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. If we multiply it by the length of the bridge, we obtain that the difference is of about 1.6 centimeters between the two seasons.

What measurement do we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Newtons.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

F = ma

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.

Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).

Joe drove at the speed of 45 miles per hour for a certain distance. He then drove at the speed of 55 miles per hour for the same
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 49.5 mph

Explanation:

Let the distance moved by Joe is "d"

so the time taken by him to drove it by speed 45 mph is given as

t_1 = \frac{d}{v_1}

t_1 = \frac{d}{45}

now the same distance is traveled by him with speed 55 mph

so the time taken by him

t_2 = \frac{d}{55}

so total time taken by him for complete distance 2d

t = t_1 + t_2

t = \frac{d}{45} + \frac{d}{55}

t = 0.0404 d

now the average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{2d}{t}

v_{avg} = \frac{2d}{0.0404d}

v_{avg} = 49.5 mph

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.    

Option (1) :  A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
