At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 29m/s from the top of a building
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.

Explanation:

This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:

x=vo*t+\frac{1}{2} a*t^2\\where\\x=distance\\vo=initial velocity\\a=acceleration

So now we have an equation and unkown value.

for the thrown rock

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+29*t-300=0

for the dropped rock

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+0*t-300=0

solving both equation with the quadratic formula:

\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2*a}

we have:

the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec

the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec

so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)

Which body is in equilibrium?
sergey [27]
"(1) a satellite moving around Earth in a circular <span>orbit" is the only option from the list that describes an object in equilibrium, since velocity and gravity are working together to keep the orbit constant. </span>

Our eyes are typically 6 cm apart. Suppose you are somewhat unique, and yours are 9.50 cm apart. You see an object jump from sid
Serhud [2]

Answer: 12.67 cm, 8 cm

Explanation:

Given

Normal distance of separation of eyes, d(n) = 6 cm

Distance of separation is your eyes, d(y) = 9.5 cm

Angle created during the jump, θ = 0.75°

To solve this, we use the formula,

θ = d/r, where

θ = angle created during the jump

d = separation between the eyes

r = distance from the object

θ = d/r

0.75 = 9.5 / r

r = 9.5 / 0.75

r = 12.67 cm

θ = d/r

0.75 = 6 / r

r = 6 / 0.75

r = 8 cm

Thus, the object is 12.67 cm far away in your own "unique" eyes, and just 8 cm further away to the normal person eye

A particle moves along the x axis so that its velocity at time t is given by v(t)=
vodomira [7]

Answer:

a = 0.7267 ,  acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing  

Explanation:

The definition of acceleration is

         a = dv / dt

they give us the function of speed

         v = - (t-1) sin (t² / 2)

         a = - sin (t²/2) -  (t-1) cos (t²/2)  2t / 2

         a = - sin (t²/2) - t (t-1)  cos (t²/2)

the acceleration for t = 4 s

          a = - sin (4²/2) - 4 (4-1) cos (4²/2)

          a = -sin 8 - 12 cos 8

remember that the angles are in radians

          a = 0.7267

the problem does not indicate the units, but to be correct they must be m/s²

We see that the acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing
