Sample Response: There is a common ratio of 2/3 between the height of the ball at each bounce. So, the bounce heights form a geometric sequence: 27, 18, 12. Two-thirds of 12 is 8, so on the fourth bounce, the ball will reach a height of 8 feet.

If x is the peak of the ball and y is the peak of the previous bounce, the formula can be used below to describe the sequence:

y * (2/3) = x
12 * (2/3) = x
8 = x

The ball reaches 8 ft on its fourth bounce.

A mover uses a ramp to load a crate of nails onto a truck. The crate, which must be lifted 1.5 m from the street to the bed of t
const2013 [10]

Answer: M.A = 3

Explanation:

A ramp is an example of an inclined plain. Where the

Height H = 1.5 m

Length L = 4.5 m

Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load to effort. While mechanical advantage M.A of an inclined plain is the ratio of the length of the plain to the height of the plain.

M.A = L/H

Substitute the values of L and H into the formula

M.A = 4.5/1.5 = 3

The mechanical advantage of the ramp is 3

Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:45 A.M., bu
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Jari

Explanation:

The question requires to know who is traveling faster. This is done by comparing the gradients. The steeper the slope (high gradient), the faster the speed and vice versa.

From Jari's line, the starting point is (0, 0) and another point is (6, 7)

The gradient being change in y to change in x

Change in y=7-0=7

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 7/6

For Jade, first point is (0, 10) then another point is (6, 16)

Change in y=16-10=6

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 6/6=1

Clearly, 7/6 is greater than 6/6 or 1 hence Jari is faster than Jade

A CCD has a greatest possible pixel value of 4095. what is the bit level of this CCD?
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>Bit level for a CCD (Charged coupled device) with a greatest possible pixel value of 4095:The relationship between the bit level and pixel value is given as:pixel value = 2^bit level.Most charged coupled devices (CCDs) have 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit levels.Using simple mathematics, we can see that 2^12 = 4096.Since the maximum number of pixels is 4095, the bit level is 12., i.e. the CCD has 12-bit level.</span>

In an experiment to measure the wavelength of light using a double slit, it is found that the fringes are too close together to
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

halve the slit separation

Explanation:

As we know that

In YDS experiment, the equation of fringe width is as follows

\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}

where,

D denotes the separation in the middle of screen and slits

d denotes the distance in the middle of two slits

And to increase the Δx we have to decrease the d i.e, the distance between the two slits

Hence, the first option is correct

a projectile is launched straight up at 141 m/s . How fast is it moving at the top of its trajectory? suppose it is launched upw
BARSIC [14]

The velocity of projectile has 2 components, horizontal component vcosθ and vertical component vsinθ, where v is the velocity of projection and θ is the angle between +ve X-axis and projectile motion.

In case 1, θ = 90⁰

    So horizontal component is vcos90 = 0

         Vertical component at maximum height = 0

So velocity at maximum height = 0 m/s


In case 2, θ = 45⁰

    So horizontal component is 141cos45 = 100m/s

         Vertical component at maximum height = 0

So velocity at maximum height = 100 m/s
