A projectile is an object <u>launched</u> into space, and moving under the <em>influence</em> of <u>gravity</u> and <u>momentum</u>. The <em>stone</em> here is an example. Thus, the <em>time</em> taken for the stone to reach the ground is 10 seconds.

On <em>launching</em> of the stone into <u>space</u>, it behaves as a <u>projectile</u>. Thus moving under the <em>influence</em> of gravity and its momentum. Its <u>momentum</u> is the <em>product</em> of its <u>mass </u>and <u>velocity</u>.

The height h, is given as:

h = 16t^{2} + 32t + 240

Differentiating the expression with respect to t, we have;

32t + 32 = 0

t = -1 seconds

Substitute the value of time, t, in the equation for the height;

h = 16 - 32 + 240

  = 224

h = 224 m

Total height, S = 240 + 224

                         = 464

S = 464 m

The total height covered by the stone is 464 m.

From the second equation of <em>free fall</em>,

S = Ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

S = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

464 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^{2}

t^{2} = \frac{928}{9.8}

  = 94.694

t = \sqrt{94.694}

 = 9.7311

t ≅ 10 seconds

The <em>time taken</em> for the stone to hit the ground is 10 seconds.

Thus option A is the required answer.

In order to make a specific shade of green paint, a painter mixes 1 1/2 quarts of blue paint, 2 cups of green paint, and 1/2 gal
ella [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make a specific shade of green paint, a painter mixes 1 1/2 quarts of blue paint. Converting 1.5 quarts to cup,

1 quart = 4 cups

1.5 quarts = 1.5 × 4 = 6 cups

She also used 1/2 gallon of white paint. Converting 0.5 gallons to cup,

0.0625 gallons = 1 cup

0.5 gallons = 0.5/0.0625 = 8 cups

This means that the ratio of cups of blue paint to green paint to white paint is 6: 2 :8

Total ratio = 6 +2 + 8 = 16

To make 100 cups of this shade of green,

Cups of blue paint needed = 6/16 × 100 = 37.5 cups

Cups of green paint needed = 2/16 × 100 = 12.5 cups

Cups of white paint needed = 8/16 × 100 = 50 cups

Find the solution of y = 2x + 5 for x = 1.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

(1, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 1 into the equation for the corresponding value of y

y = 2x + 5 = (2 × 1) + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7

Solution is (1, 7)

Given: In the given figure, there are two equilateral triangles having side 50 yards each and two sectors of radius (r) = 50 yards each with the sector angle θ = 120°

To Find: The length of the park's boundary to the nearest yard.

Calculation:

The length of the park's boundary (P) = 2× side of equilateral triangle + 2 × length of the arc

or,                    (P) = 2× 50 yards + 2× (2πr) ( θ ÷360°)

or,                    (P) = 2× 50 yards + 2× (2×3.14× 50 yards) ( 120° ÷360°)

or,                    (P) = 100 yards + 2× (2×3.14× 50 yards) ( 120° ÷360°)

or,                    (P) = 100 yards + 209.33 yards

or,                    (P) = 309.33 yards ≈309 yards

Hence, the option D:309 yards is the correct option.
