calculated velocities:

(t,v(t))

(0.4,11.756)

(0.8,7.832)

(1.2,3.908)

(1.6,-0.016)

calculated displacements:

$(t,\Delta x)$

(0.4, 5.487)

(0.8,9.4048)

(1.2, 11.7528)

(1.6, 12.5312)

the ball spends 3.2 seconds in the air

Explanation:

Assuming the ball is launched on earth with standard gravity and that the effects of drag is neglected.

assume that 'up' is positive direciton since that is direction of travel

'down' is negative direction

formula for velocity is v(t)=v_0+at

where v(t) is the velocity at time

v_0 is the initial velocity at time t=0

is the acceleration in the direction of the velocity

velocity is in m/s and accelration is in m/s^2 and t is in seconds

for displacement: $\Delta x=v_0 t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Known stuffs:

in our case, we know we are on earth so, a=-9.81 m/s^2. the negative sign indicates that the direction is oposite the velocity since the ball travels up but gravity pulls down

the initial velocity is given as v_0=15.68 m/s

therefore, our equation for velocity is

v(x)=15.68-9.81t

now we just need to plot it every 0.4 seconds

this is easy subsituteion. here's the first:

v(0.4)=15.68-9.81(0.4)=11.756 m/s

if we keep plotting this, we get the following table

(t,v(t))

(0.4,11.756)

(0.8,7.832)

(1.2,3.908)

(1.6,-0.016) the velocity is negative meaning that the ball is now going 'down' and therefor the ball has just passed the peak of it's upward travel

so since it took about 1.6 seconds to get here, it will spend about twice this time in the air or about 3.2 seconds

to get an exact answer, solve for the time when velocity is 0, ie when the ball has reached its peak and stopped moving

set v(t)=0 and solve for t

$0=15.68-9.81t\rightarrow 15.68=9.81t\rightarrow t=1.598s$

so it takes 1.598 seconds to get to peak, therefore it spends twice this time in the air or 3.197 seconds in the air. it's close enough to 3.2 seconds

the ball spends 3.2 seconds in the air

displacement:

$\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$\Delta x=15.68t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.81)t^2$

some values are

$(t,\Delta x)$

(0.4, 5.487)

(0.8,9.4048)

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 15.68 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 0.4n s, n = 0, 1, 2, etc.

Find: Δy and v

To find displacement, use the equation:

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

To find velocity, use the equation:

v = at + v₀

$\left\begin{array}{ccc}t&y&v\\0&0&15.68\\0.4&5.49&11.76\\0.8&9.41&7.84\\1.2&11.76&3.92\\1.6&12.54&0\\2.0&11.76&-3.92\\2.4&9.41&-7.84\\2.8&5.49&-11.76\\3.2&0&-15.68\end{array}\right$

The ball lands after 3.2 seconds.

Wo small variable-thrust jets are actuated to keep the spacecraft angular velocity about the z-axis constant at ? 0 = 1.16 rad/s as the two telescoping booms are extended from r1 = 1.18 m to r2 = 4.69 m at a constant rate over a period of 124 seconds. the small 19-kg experiment modules at the ends of the booms may be treated as particles, and the mass of the rigid booms is negligible. determine the necessary thrust t for each jet as a function of time where t = 0 is the time when the telescoping action is begun. after you have the general expression for t, answer the questions. show work.

You have two photos of a person walking. one shows the person at the corner of third and main streets, the other shows the person at the corner of tenth and main streets. there are lampposts at every corner in this town, and the first picture shows it to be 10: 32: 00 exactly. the second picture shows it to be 10: 49: 30. you know three facts: (1) all of the clocks are synchronized; (2) there are exactly 12 equal-sized blocks per kilometer in this town; and (3) the streets that cross main in this area are numbered consecutively, with no interruptions. what is the person’s average speed in kilometers per hour?
