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

Which of the following describes a condition in which an individual would not hear an echo?
IrinaVladis [17]
If the echo (the reflected sound) reaches your ear less than about
0.1 second after the original sound, your brain doesn't separate them,
and you're not aware of the echo even though it's there.

If the echo comes from, say, a wall, 0.1 second means you'd have to be
about  17 meters away from the wall.  If you're closer than that, then the
echo reaches you in less than 0.1 second and you're not aware of it.

A. 30 meters . . .
     No.  You hear that echo easily

B.  you're standing within range of both sounds . . .
     No. You hear that echo easily, if you're at least 17 meters from the wall.

C.  less than 0.1 second later . . .
     That's it.  The echo is there but your brain doesn't know it.

D.  21.5 meters
     No.  You hear that echo easily.

hodyreva [135]
<span>Since Florence is east, then Florence is 5 miles due west of Paris (30-25). Then, using the Pythagorean theorem with 45 miles as the length and 5 miles as the width, the square root of (45^2+5^2) is 45.277 miles.</span>

Why does sound propagate faster in solid bodies than in liquids and faster in liquids than in air?
storchak [24]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

this is because particles in solids are packed very closely together, thus , the particles collide with each other frequently and thus transfer of energy is faster. however, particles in liquid are closely packed but not as close as in solid so the particles do not collide as frequently. thus, transfer of energy slower than in solid. furthermore, the particles in gas are spaced far apart from each other, thus the particles don't collide with each other frequently, thus transfer of energy is very slow in gas.

hope you get it,

please mark

A race car traveling at 10 meters per second accelerates at 1.5 meters per second squared while moving a distance of 600 meters.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 10 m/s

a = 1.5 m/s^2

d = 600 m

vf = ?

Formula

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

Solution

vf^2 = 10^2 + 2*1.5 * 600

vf^2 = 100 + 1800

vf^2 = 1900

sqrt(vf^2) = sqrt(1900)

vf = 43.59 m/s
