At age 7, Maui competed in the high jump competition and managed a personal best of 3ft. At age 11 she was jumping 5ft. Her coac

h decided that her progress in the high jump could be modeled by a linear equation. He let x represent Maui's age and y represent the height of her jump. *
16. Write the equation as described by the coach.

a. x - 2y = 1
b. x - 2y = -1
c. x + 2y = 1
d. x + 2y = -1

17. If the coach will use this equation to predict the height Maui will be able to jump at 18, what will the result be?

a. 8.5 feet
b. 9 feet
c. 9.5 feet
d. 10 feet

The high-jumper's centre of mass is about two-thirds of the way up his body when he is standing or running in towards the take off point. He needs to increase his launch speed to the highest possible by building up his strength and speed, and then use his energy and gymnastic skill to raise his centre of gravity by H, which is the maximum that the formula U2=2gH will allow. Of course there is a bit more to it in practice! When a high jumper runs in to launch himself upwards he will only be able to transfer a small fraction of his best possible horizontal sprinting speed into his upward launch speed. He has only a small space for his approach run and must turn around in order to take off with his back facing the bar. The pole vaulter is able to do much better. He has a long straight run down the runway and, despite carrying a long pole, the world's best vaulters can achieve speeds of close to 10 metres per second at launch. The elastic fibre glass pole enables them to turn the energy of their horizontal motion 12MU2 into vertical motion much more efficiently than the high jumper. Vaulters launch themselves vertically upwards and perform all the impressive gymnastics necessary to curl themselves in an inverted U-shape over the bar,sending their centre of gravity as far below it as possible.

Pole vaulter

Let's see if we can get a rough estimate of how well we might expect them to do. Suppose they manage to transfer all their horizontal running kinetic energy of 12MU2 into vertical potential energy of MgH then they will raise their centre of mass a height of:

H=U22g

If the Olympic champion can reach 9 ms−1 launch speed then since the acceleration due to gravity is g=10 ms−2 we expect him to be able to raise his centre of gravity height of H=4 metres. If he started with his centre of gravity about 1.5 metres above the ground and made it pass 0.5 metres below the bar then he would be expected to clear a bar height of 1.5+4+0.5=6 metres. In fact, the American champion Tim Mack won the Athens Olympic Gold medal with a vault of 5.95 metres (or 19′614" in feet and inches) and had three very close failures at 6 metres, knowing he had already won the Gold Medal, so our very simple estimates turn out to be surprisingly accurate.

Please help me! I really need someone to explain how to find the perimeter also. Thank you in advance!

You add all the sides together and divide by the number of side so in your case it would be 6 sides and you should get your perimeter i think thats how you do it i could be wrong

What is the LCD of 2/7 and 9/10
Ksenya-84 [330]
Assuming LCD means Lowest Common Denominator
Assuming by "and" you mean adding the two

Well, you go by the multiples of 7;
7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63,<u> 70</u>
Multiples of 10;
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, <u>70</u>, 80, 90, 100

Straight away you can see the lowest common multiple is 70,

Now to go about adding them,
2/7 * 10 (both sides) , 20/70
9/10 * 7 (both sides) , 63/70

Then you add the two; 20/70 + 63/70  - now we can add them because they share the same denominator
20/70 + 63/70 = 83/70 = 1 whole 13/70 (simplified)

<u>The LCD is 70

Quick tip, </u>to find a common multiple (not necessarily the lowest) multiply the two denominators.

Variable on both sides
IrinaK [193]

So for starts we can go 0.16 x 63 miles = 10.04 so the total for the second plan would be $58 with driving 63 miles. and for the first plan would be 0.12 divided by 3 would be 0.04 so we add them together and we get $58 with driving a 3rd of a mile.

Overall:

1st plan: $58 with driving a 3rd of a mile.

2nd plan: $58 with driving 63 miles.
