- An arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardShow complete Solution. 1.) A man fires a target 420 m away hears the bullet strikes to 2 second after he pulled the trigger. An observer 525 m away from the target and 455 m from the man heard the bullet strike the target one second after he heard the report of the rifle. Find the velocity of the bullet. (Ans: 525 m/s) 2.) A man travels in a motorized banca at rate of 12 kph from his barrio to the poblacion and come back to his barrio at the rate of 10 kph. If his total time of travel back and forth is 3 hours and 10 minutes, the distance from the barrio to the poblacion is : (Ans: 17.27 km) 3.) Two ferryboats ply back and forth across a river with constant but different speeds, turning at the river banks without loss of time. They leave the opposite shores at the same instant, meet for the first time 900 meters from one shore, and meet for the second time 500 meters from the opposite shore. What is the width of the river? (Ans: 2200 m)arrow_forward
- An elastic band is hung on a hook and a mass is hung on the lower end of the band. When the mass is pulled downward and then released, it vibrates vertically. The equation of motion is s=2cost+3sint, t>=0, , when is the speed the greatest?arrow_forwardTwo balls are thrown upward from the edge of the cliff inExample 6. The first is thrown with a speed of 48 ft/s andthe other is thrown a second later with a speed of 24 ft/s.Do the balls ever pass each other?arrow_forward
