Answer 1

Answer:

The initial speed of the ball is  98.22 ft/s

The maximum height of the ball is 75.02 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Step-by-step explanation:

The position and velocity vectors of the ball can be calcualted as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0 · cos α , v0 · sin α + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

α = launching angle.

y0 = initial vertical position.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity vector at time t.

Let´s call r final to the position vector when the ball is caught (see attached figure). The components of r final are:

x = 300 feet

y = 0

Then, r final = (300 feet, 0)

Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the launching point.

Then, when the ball is caught:

300 feet = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

0 = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

We have a system of two equations with two unknowns (t and v0), so, let´s solve it.

Let´s solve the first eqation for v0:

300 feet = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

Since the frame of reference is located at the launching point (x0 = 0). Then:

300 feet = v0 · t · cos 45°

300 feet /( t · cos 45°) = v0

Now, let´s replace v0 in the secod equation of the system:

0 = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²    (y0 = 0)

0 = 300 feet/(t · cos 45°) · t · sin 45° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = 300 feet · sin 45°/cos45° - 4.9 m/s² · t²       (sin45°/cos45° = 1)

0 = 300 feet - 4.9 m/s² · t²

-300 feet = -4.9 m/s² · t²

-300 feet / -16.08 ft/s²  = t²

t = 4.32 s

Now, we can calculate the initial velocity:

300 feet /( t · cos 45°) = v0

300 feet /( 4.32 s · cos 45°) = v0

v0 = 98.22 ft/s

The initial speed of the ball is  98.22 ft/s

To obtain the maximum height of the ball, we have to find at which time the ball is at its maximum height. We can do this in several ways, but we will use the equation of velocity. See in the figure that when the ball is at its maximum height, the y-component of the velocity is zero (because the vector is horizontal). Then, using the equation of the y-component of the velocity:

vy = v0 · sin α + g · t

0 = 98.22 · sin 45° - 32.15 ft/s² · t

(-98.22 · sin 45°) / - 32.15 ft/s² = t

t = 2.16 s

(Notice that this time is half the total time of flight calculated above (4.32 s). This is also the time at which the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is half the total horizontal traveled distance. This is so because the trajectory of the ball is a parabola).

Now that we have the time, we can calculate the y-component of the position vector (r1y in the figure).

r1y = v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

r1y = 98.22 ft/s · 2.16 s · sin 45° - 1/2 · 32.15 ft/s² · (2.16 s)²

r1y = 75.02 ft

The maximum height of the ball is 75.02 ft.

What is Trend line?

A trend line is also known as a line of best fit, and it is used to illustrate the behaviour of a set of data to assess if it is in a given pattern. So, a trend line is an analytical technique that is frequently used in conjunction with a scatter plot to determine whether or not there is a relationship between two variables.

As, per the plots.

Cassie has a box that is a cube with a side length of
4 inches. She needs a second box that has 3 times the
volume of the first box.

Answers

Answer: 192

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a shape, we multiply the length by the width by the height. Since this is a cube, we know that they are all 4, so we do 4 times 4 times 4. We get 64. SInce we know that Cassie needs a cube with a volume that is 3 times of the previous volume, 64, we multiply 64 by 3. The answer is 192.

Answer:

192 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is represented by raising one side length to the 3rd power.

4 x 4 x 4 = 64

64 is the volume of the first box.

The second box is 3 times the value of the third box, so the equation for the third box is:

64 x 3 = 192

How to factor 3x³+3x²-36

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, divide all parts of the equation by 3:

[tex]3(x^3 + x^2-12)[/tex]

Now focus on the equation:

[tex]x^3 + x^2-12[/tex]

We know that the equation can be factored using x so we know that (x +- unknown) is the factor. We need to find the easiest way to factor this, lets find the factors of 12:

1 12

2 6

3 4

1 and 12 won't work so let's try 2 and 6, initially start as a negative 2:

[tex]\frac{ x^3 + x^2 - 12}{x - 2}[/tex] = [tex]x^2 + 3x + 6[/tex]

We can confirm this is simplified by multiplying together:

[tex](x - 2) (x^2 + 3x + 6)[/tex]

[tex]x* x^2 = x^3\\x * 3x = 3x^2\\x * 6 = 6x\\-2 * x^2 = -2x^2\\-2 * 3x = 6x\\-2 * 6 = -12[/tex]

= [tex]x^3 + x^2 - 12[/tex]

Meaning it is simplified.

Now, put the equations together:

candy?

Answers

The probability is 2/8
28/95


There are 20 pieces of candy. First, you find the probability of drawing a blue piece which is 8/20 which is reduced to 4/5. Then you find the probability of drawing a red piece. Since you have removed a blue piece, there are now 19 pieces instead of 20. So, the probability of drawing a red piece is 7/19. Since the question is asking the probability of drawing a blue piece THEN a red piece you multiply the two fractions together since they are dependent upon each other. So, (4/5)(7/19)= 28/95.

A woman is walking at a rate of 0.5m/s. Her mass is 62 kg. The woman's kinetic energy in joules:

K.E. = 7.75 kgm²/s²

What is Kinetic Energy?

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy in physics. It is described as the effort required to move a mass-determined body from rest to the indicated velocity. The body holds onto the kinetic energy it acquired during its acceleration until its speed changes.

Given,

Mass = 62kg

Velocity = 0.5m/s

The formula for Kinetic Energy is :

K.E. = 1/2 m v².

K.E. = 1/2 (62)(0.5)²

K.E. = 1/2 (62)(0.25)

K.E. = 1/2 (15.5)

K.E. = 15.5/2

K.E. = 7.75 kgm²/s²

or

K.E. = 7.75 joules

Hence, he woman's kinetic energy in joules, K.E. = 7.75 kgm²/s²

Answer:

  a) see attached for the drawings

  b) p = 8n -4

  c) a(n) = 4n(n -3) +13  for n > 1; a(1) = 1

  d) none

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The overall dimensions of the next two stages of the pattern will be 7×7 and 9×9. Excluding the 4 "ears", the central squares are 5×5 and 7×7. The drawings are shown in the attachment.

__

b) The sequence of perimeter values is ...

  4, 12, 20, 28, 36, ...

This is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 8. A suitable formula for the perimeter p of stage n is ...

  p = 8n -4

__

c) The sequence of area values is ...

  1, 5, 13, 29, 53, ...

The first differences are ...

  4, 8, 16, 24, ...

and the second differences are ...

  4, 8, 8, ...

At no level are the differences "common", so this sequence cannot be described by a polynomial function. After the first one, the second differences are common, so the sequence after the first term can be described by a quadratic function.

The function describing the sequence must be defined in two parts:

  [tex]a(n)=\begin{cases}1&\text{ for $n = 1$}\\4n(n-3)+13&\text{ for $n>1$}\end{cases}[/tex]

__

d) Because the function must be piecewise defined, the area sequence is not any of the types of sequences listed. After the first term, it is a quadratic sequence.

_____

Additional comment

The leading coefficient of the quadratic formula for the area sequence is half the second difference. When 4n² is subtracted from the sequence of areas, the remaining arithmetic sequence has a common difference of -12. In order to bring the total of these quadratic and arithmetic sequences up to the correct area value, 13 must be added. This formula would give a(1) = a(2) = 5, which is not the correct value for a(1). Hence, that must be defined separately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing two exponents with the same base can be simplified by subtracting the exponents. Thus (x^7)/(x^4) is the same as x^(7-4), or x^3.

A negative exponent is the same as the reciprocal of the positive exponent. x^-3 is the same as 1/(x^3).

Anything with an exponent of 0 is equal to 1.

Again, when dividing two exponents, if they have the same base, you can just subtract the exponents. (x^4)/(x^3) = x^(4-3) = x^1 = x.
