Pekka tosses a ball out of a window that is 40 feet in the air. Its initial velocity is 15
feet per second. The path of the ball is represented by
h = -16t2 + 15t + 40
How long does it take for the ball to hit the ground (in seconds) rounded to the
nearest hundredth?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]h(t) = -16t^2 + 15t + 40[/tex]

Required

Determine how long the ball hits the ground

When the ball hits the ground means that [tex]h(t) = 0[/tex]

So, we have that:

[tex]h(t) = -16t^2 + 15t + 40[/tex] becomes

[tex]0 = -16t^2 + 15t + 40[/tex]

Reorder

[tex]-16t^2 + 15t + 40 = 0[/tex]

Multiply through by -1

[tex]16t^2 - 15t - 40 = 0[/tex]

Solve using quadratic:

[tex]t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]a = 16[/tex] [tex]b = -15[/tex] [tex]c = -40[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex] becomes

[tex]t = \frac{-(-15)\±\sqrt{(-15)^2 - 4*16*-40}}{2*16}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{15\±\sqrt{(-15)^2 - 4*16*-40}}{2*16}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{15\±\sqrt{225 +2560}}{32}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{15\±\sqrt{2785}}{32}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{15\±52.77}{32}[/tex]

Split:

[tex]t = \frac{15+52.77}{32}[/tex] or [tex]t = \frac{15-52.77}{32}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{67.77}{32}[/tex] or [tex]t = \frac{-37.77}{32}[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.12[/tex] or [tex]t = -1.18[/tex]

But time can't be negative

So:

[tex]t = 2.12[/tex]

Hence, time to hit the ground is 2.12 seconds

Allison can jog 3 blocks in the same amount of time it takes her brother, Blake, to jog 2 blocks. If they keep jogging at the same rate, how many blocks will Blake jog if Allison jogs 18 blocks?

Answers

Answer:

Blake will jog 12 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Allison : Blake = 3 : 2

If they keep jogging at the same rate, how many blocks will Blake jog if Allison jogs 18 blocks?

Allison : Blake = 18 : x

Equate the ratios

3 : 2 = 18 : x

3/2 = 18/x

Cross multiply

3 * x = 2 * 18

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3

x = 36 / 3

= 12

x = 12

In an asteroid field, 75% of the asteroids are carbonaceous asteroids. There are 375,000 carbonaceous asteroids in the asteroid field. How many asteroids are not carbonaceous? Asteroids are not carbonaceous.

Answers

Given:

In an asteroid field, 75% of the asteroids are carbonaceous asteroids.

There are 375,000 carbonaceous asteroids in the asteroid field.

To find:

The number of asteroids that are not carbonaceous.

Solution:

Let the total number of asteroids be x.

According to question,

[tex]75\%\text{ of }x = 375000[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{75}{100}x=375000[/tex]

[tex]0.75x=375000[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.75.

[tex]x=\dfrac{375000}{0.75}[/tex]

[tex]x=500000[/tex]

Asteroids not carbonaceous = Total asteroids - Carbonaceous asteroids

                                                [tex]=500000-375000[/tex]

                                                [tex]=125000[/tex]

Therefore, 125,000 asteroids are not carbonaceous.

If they instead chose front and back covers of thickness 1/3 of an inch, how would this change the equations in the previous two parts

Answers

Answer:

where is the rest of the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y = 1/2 + 1/4*x

Explanation:

Given that the front cover has a thickness of 1/4 an inch and back cover also has a thickness of 1/4 an inch, then, the addition of both gives to the book thickness of 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 inch, despite how many pages it has.

Given that for every hundred pages a thickness of 1/4 inch is added to the book, then the equation is:

y = 1/2 + 1/4*x

where y refers to the width of the book, and x refers to every hundred pages printed on bond paper. Y is measured in inches.

x =  3 , y = 42

x = 4 , y = 46

x = 5 , y = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution for the equation at different values is given below:-

x =  3 , y = 42

x = 4 , y = 46

x = 5 , y = 50

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

Given that the equation is y= 4x +30. From the table, the value of y at different values of x will be:-

x =  3 , y = ( 4 x 3) + 30 =  12 + 30 = 42

x = 4 , y = ( 4 x 4 ) + 30 = 16 + 30 = 46

x = 5 , y = ( 4 x 5 ) + 30 = 20 + 30 =  50

Therefore, the solution for the equation at different values is at x =  3 , y = 42 then at x = 4 , y = 46 and, at x = 5 , y = 50.
