In American football, the ball is punted by dropping and kicking it before it hits the ground. The height h(t) of the football a

bove the ground in meters t seconds after being punted is affected by gravity and by the punter's kick, and can be represented as the difference of two functions: a(t)=1.4t2, which specifies the effect of gravity on the height of the ball, and v(t)=12.1t+2.5, which specifies the effect of the punt on the ball. With these two functions, h(t)=v(t)-a(t), how high above the ground was the ball when it was punted?

Answer:

h = 8.845 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The height h(t) of the football above the ground in meters t seconds after being punted is affected by gravity and by the punters kick, and can be represented as the difference of two functions:

a(t)=1.4t^2\\\\v(t)=12.1t+2.5

We need to find h(t) such that, h(t)=v(t)-a(t)

So,

h(t)=12.1t+2.5-1.4t^2\\\\h(t)=-1.4t^2+12.1t+2.5

It is a quadratic equation. When we solve it we get :

h(t)=8.845\ m, -0.2\ m

Neglecting negative value,

h(t) = 8.845 m

So, the ball was at a height of 8.845 m when it was punted.

Two window washers start at the heights shown. (A: 21 ft high rising 8 in per second. The other is 50 feet high descending 11inc
babunello [35]

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is write the generic equation of motion for the vertical axis.

We have then:

h = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + vo * t + h0

Where,

  • <em>g: acceleration of gravity </em>
  • <em>vo: initial speed </em>
  • <em>h0: initial height </em>

For the first body:

h1 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21

For the second body:

h2 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

By the time both bodies have the same height we have:

h1 = h2\\

\frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

Rewriting we have:

\frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

\frac {8} {12} * t + \frac {11} {12} * t = 50 - 21

\frac {19} {12} * t = 29

Clearing time:

t = 29 (\frac {12} {19})\\t = 18.31s

Answer:

 it takes 18.31s for the two window washers to reach the same height

There are 5,280 feet in a mile. What part of a mile, in decimal form, will you drive until you reach the exit.
nalin [4]

Answer:

= 0.1893939

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that there are 5,280 feet in a mile.

Number of feet in a mile = 5,280

Now we will convert feet into miles.

To convert 1000 feet into mile we will multiply  it by 1/5280

1000 feet = 1000 * 1/5280

1000/5280

= 0.1893939

Therefore the answer is = 0.1893939....

Answer:

The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 10 people in the party .

To Find: Assuming all 10 people at the party each shake hands with every other person (but not themselves, obviously) exactly once, how many handshakes take place?

Solution:

We are given that there are 10 people in the party

No. of people involved in one handshake = 2

To find the no. of possible handshakes between 10 people we will use combination over here

Formula : ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

n = 10

r= 2

Substitute the values in the formula

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 }{2 \times 1}

^{10}C_{2}=45

No. of possible handshakes are 45

Hence The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

Which pairs of angles in the figure below are vertical angles?
ch4aika [34]

Answer: Option A and Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to know the definition of "Vertical Angles".

When two lines intersect or cross, there are a pair of angles that share the same vertex and they are opposite each other. This pair of angles are known as "Vertical angles".

By definition, Vertical angles are congruent, which means that the have the equal measure.

In this case, you can observe in the picture provided in the exercise that the line TI and the line WN intersect each other at the point S.

You can identify that the pair of angles that are opposite to each other and share the same vertex are the shown below:

\angle ISN  and \angle TSW

\angle TSN and \angle ISW

300-7[4(3+5)]+3 to the 3rd power
Mila [183]

Answer:

The answer is 103

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

300-7[4(3+5)]+3 to the 3rd power

3 to the 3rd power means 3^3

Therefore,

300-7[4(3+5)]+3^3

First we will solve the round bracket and find the cube

300-7[4(8)]+27

Now we will solve square bracket

300-7[32]+ 27

300-224+27

76+27

103

Thus the answer we get is 103....
