a)
To find: how many seconds after the ball is hit does it hit the wall.
The ball will hit the wall approximately in 2.8 seconds.
Given information:
x=(150cos18°)t and y=−16t2+(150sin18°)t+3 .
Formula used:
x=(v0cosθ°)t and y=−16t2+(v0sinθ°)t+h .
Calculation:
Substitute 400 for x in x=(150cos18°)t .
400=(150cos18°)t400=(150)(0.9511)t400=142.665t400142.665=tt≈2.8
Hence, the ball will hit the wall approximately in 2.8 seconds.
b)
To find: how high up the wall does the ball hit.
The ball will hit the wall at 7.34 ft.
Given information:
x=(150cos18°)t and y=−16t2+(150sin18°)t+3 .
Formula used:
x=(v0cosθ°)t and y=−16t2+(v0sinθ°)t+h .
Calculation:
Substitute 2.8 for t in y=−16t2+(150sin18°)t+3 .
y=−16(2.8)2+(150sin18°)2.8+3y=−16(7.84)+150(0.309)(2.8)+3=−125.44+129.78+3=7.34
Hence, the ball will hit the wall at 7.34 ft.
c)
To explain: why Kevin’s hit might me caught by an outfielder and also explain why his would probably be not caught if it were hit at an angle of 20° with the horizontal.
The outfielder would not be able to catch a ball which would be at a height of 21.2 ft when hit with an angle of 20° .
Given information:
x=(150cos18°)t and y=−16t2+(150sin18°)t+3 .
Formula used:
x=(v0cosθ°)t and y=−16t2+(v0sinθ°)t+h .
Calculation:
Substitute 2.8 for t and 18° for θ in y=−16t2+(150sinθ)t+3 .
y=−16(2.7)2+(150sin18°)2.7+3=−16(7.29)+150(0.309)(2.7)+3=−121+127.46+3=7.35
Since the height of the ball is 7.35 feet at 2.8 seconds the outfielder might be able to catch it.
Substitute 2.8 for t and 20° for θ in y=−16t2+(150sinθ)t+3 .
y=−16(2.8)2+(150sin20°)2.8+3=−16(7.84)+150(0.342)(2.8)+3=−125.44+143.64+3=21.2
Hence, the outfielder would not be able to catch a ball which would be at a height of 21.2 ft when hit with an angle of 20° .

The incoming water can be apportioned in different volumes to each turbine, so the goal of this project is to determine how to distribute water among the turbines to give the maximum total energy production for any rate of flow. Using experimental evidence and Bernoulli's equation, the following quadratic models were determined for the power output of each turbine, along with the allowable flows of operation: 6 KW₁ = (-18.89 +0.1277Q1-4.08.10 Q) (170 - 1.6 · 10¯*Q) KW2 = (-24.51 +0.1358Q2-4.69-10 Q¹²) (170 — 1.6 · 10¯*Q) KW3 = (-27.02 +0.1380Q3 -3.84-10-5Q) (170 - 1.6-10-ºQ) where 250 Q1 <1110, 250 Q2 <1110, 250 <3 < 1225 Qi = flow through turbine i in cubic feet per second KW = power generated by turbine i in kilowattsarrow_forward
