It will take the quarter 0.151 seconds to reach the ground.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Height = 1.45 meters
  • Initial velocity = 10.32 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find how much time it will take the quarter to reach the ground, we  would use the second equation of motion.

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Where:

  • S is the height or distance covered.
  • u is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

1.45 = 10.32(t) + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\\\1.45 = 10.32t + 4.9t^2\\\\4.9t^2 + 10.32t - 1.45 = 0

The standard form of a quadratic equation is:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

a = 4.9, b = 10.32 and c = 1.45

We would solve the above quadratic equation by using the quadratic equation formula;

x = \frac{-b\; \pm \;\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Substituting the values, we have;

t = \frac{-10.32\; \pm \;\sqrt{10.32^2\; - \;4(4.9)(1.45)}}{2(4.9)}\\\\t = \frac{-10.32\; \pm \;\sqrt{106.5024\; - \;28.42}}{9.8}\\\\t = \frac{-10.32\; \pm \;\sqrt{78.0824}}{9.8}\\\\t = \frac{-10.32\; \pm \;8.84}{9.8}\\\\t = \frac{-10.32\; + \;8.84}{9.8}\\\\t = \frac{1.48}{9.8}

<em>Time, t = 0.151 seconds.</em>

Therefore, it will take the quarter 0.151 seconds to reach the ground.

zaharov [31]
Batteries always use direct current. That eliminates A and C. The other part of the answers is just asking what direct/alternating means. Alternating currents change directions moving one way then another. Direct current only moves in one direction. Therefore, the answer is D, since the current is direct and direct currents move in one direction.

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.
Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }

\frac{1}{100,000}  = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

v = 0.999999995 c

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A projectile is fired at a velocity of 50 m/s straight into the air. What is the velocity of the projectile when the objects dis
Arisa [49]

Answer:

the final velocity of the object is 53.04 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the projectile, u = 50 m/s

displacement of the object, d = 16 m

let the final velocity of the object = v

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the final velocity of the projectile.

v² = u² + 2gd

v² = 50² + (2 x 9.8 x 16)

v² = 2813.6

v = √2813.6

v = 53.04 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the object is 53.04 m/s.
