A rock is tossed vertically from a height of 2m with an initial velocity of 20 ms-1. The height of the rock, h, after t seconds can be modeled by the polynomial function :h(t)=−4.9t2+20t+2, t≥0. Calculate how many seconds, rounded to three significant figures, it takes for the rock to hit the ground.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The rock takes 4.18 seconds to hit the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Function Model

The height of a rock h, after t seconds, can be modeled by the polynomial function:

[tex]h(t)=-4.9t^2+20t+2, t\geq 0[/tex]

When the rock hits the ground, the height is 0, thus we need to find the value of t such as:

[tex]-4.9t^2+20t+2=0[/tex]

A quadratic equation can be expressed as:

[tex]at^2+bt+c=0[/tex]

where a,b, and c are constants.

Solving with the quadratic formula:

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

The values for the given equation are:

a=-4.9, b=20, c=2

Applying the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{-20\pm \sqrt{20^2-4(-4.9)(2)}}{2(-4.9)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{-20\pm \sqrt{400+39.2}}{-9.8}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{-20\pm 20.957}{-9.8}[/tex]

There are two possible solutions:

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{-20- 20.957}{-9.8}=4.18[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{-20+ 20.957}{-9.8}=-0.1[/tex]

Since t > 0, the only solution is t=4.19 seconds

The rock takes 4.18 seconds to hit the ground

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply Indices Law :

[tex] {a}^{m} \times {a}^{n} ⇒ {a}^{m + n} [/tex]

[tex] {a}^{m} \div {a}^{n}⇒ {a}^{m - n} [/tex]

[tex] { ({a}^{m} )}^{n} = {a}^{mn} [/tex]

So for this question :

[tex]( {( {5}^{2}) }^{3} \times {5}^{4} ) \div {5}^{7} [/tex]

[tex] = ( {5}^{6} \times {5}^{4} ) \div {5}^{7} [/tex]

Two uniformly charged, infinite, nonconducting planes are parallel to a yz plane and positioned at x = -50 cm and x = +50 cm. The charge densities on the planes are -50 nC/m² and +25 nC/m², respectively. What is the magnitude of the potential difference between the origin and the point on the x axis at x = +80 cm? (Hint:Use Gauss’ law.)

Answer:

ΔV = 2520 V

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Charge density 1; σ1 = -50 nC/m² = -50 × 10^(-9) nC/m²

Charge density 2; σ2 = +25 nC/m² = +25 × 10^(-9) nC/m²

Now, formula for electric field strength is;

E = -(½ε)(|σ1| ± |σ2|)

ε is vacuum permittivity with a constant value as 8.85 × 10^(−12) C²/N.m²

|σ1| and |σ2| means we are taking the absolute values and would therefore not use the negative sign attached to them.

Now, in between x = 0 cm(0 m) and 50 cm (0.5 m), electric field generated by both charge densities would be in the same direction and thus;

E_in = -(½ε)(|σ1| + |σ2|)

E_in = -(½ × 8.85 × 10^(−12)) × [(50 × 10^(-9)) + (25 × 10^(-9))]

E_in = -4200 V/m

In contrast, when x ≥ 50 cm (0.5 m), electric field generated by both charge densities would be in opposite directions and thus;

E_out = -(½ε)(|σ1| - |σ2|)

E_out = -(½ × 8.85 × 10^(−12)) × [(50 × 10^(-9)) - (25 × 10^(-9))]

E_out = 1400 V/m

The magnitude of the potential difference from the origin to x = 80 cm(0.8 m) is calculated as attached;

From the attachment, we see that;

ΔV = 2520 V

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates (-4, -3) and (-1, 4)

To get the distance between the two points, we will use the formula:

D =√(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²

From the coordinates, x1 = -4, y1 = -3, x2 = -1 and y2 = 4

Substitute

D =√(4-(-3))²+(-1-(-4))²

D = √(4+3)²+(-1+4)²

D = √7²+3²

D = √49+9

D = √58

Hence the correct option is D

What is the Slope - intercept form of the equation of a straight line ?

The Slope - intercept form of the equation of a straight line is as follows -

y = mx + c

where -

m - slope of line

c - intercept of line on y - axis.

According to the question, we have -

c = - 8 = intercept of line on y - axes.

Intercepting coordinates on  y - axes = (0, -8).

Intercepting coordinates on x - axes = (2, 0).

To find slope on the graph you use rise/run like #1 you go up 3 and across 2 so it’s 3/2 and positive because the line is going up if it were going going down it’s a negative slope…now to find it with the formula it says it right there y2-y1 over x2-x1 for example 14-10 over -7-8 and simplify if you can…on the table you will do the same as you did with the formula on #15 you will use the formula like this 2-5 over -2+3 because we all know when you subtract a negative with a negative you’re basically adding them together
