HELP !! Maura is deciding which hose to use to water her outdoor plants. Maura noticed that the water coming out of her garden h

oses follows a parabolic path.
When Maura uses her green garden hose the greatest height the water reaches is 8 feet, and it lands on the plants 10 feet from where she is standing. Both the nozzle of the hose and the top of the flowers are 4 feet above the ground.

Maura has determined that when she has the water on full blast, the water from the red hose follows the path y= -(x-3)^2+7.

a. Which hose will throw the water higher ?

b. Write an equation that models the path of the water from Maura's green hose.

c. What domain and range make sense for the water from Majra's green hose?

THE GREEN HOSE: Define the (x,y) coordinates at a height of 4 feet, which corresponds to where Majra holds the green hose. This indicates the equation for the green hose takes the form y = a(x - h)² + 4. Water from the hose lands on the ground 10 feet away from Majra, thus y(10) = -4. Given that the curve passes through (0,0), this leads to ah² + 4 = 0; therefore, ah² = -4. To satisfy the previous equation, we find a(10 - h)² + 4 = -4, simplifying to a(10 - h)² = -8. Dividing (3) by (4) gives a ratio of h²/(10-h)² = 1/2, leading to 2h² = (10 - h)² = 100 - 20h + h², and resolving yields h² + 20h - 100 = 0. Applying the quadratic formula, we get x = 0.5[-20 +/- √(8400)] = 4.142, - 24.142. We discard the negative solution. The vertex locates at (4.142, 4). From (3), we deduce a = -4/4.142² = -0.2332, leading to the equation for the green hose: y = 0.2332(x - 4.142)² + 4. THE RED HOSE: The vertex of the red hose is positioned at (3,7), represented by the equation y = -(x-3)² + 7. A graph depicting y(x) for both hoses is included in the attached figure. Answers: a. The red hose throws water higher. b. The green hose's equation is y = -0.2332(x - 4.124)² + 4, starting at a height of 4 feet. c. The feasible domain for the green hose is between 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 feet, with the corresponding range being -4 ≤ y ≤ 4 feet.

(B) (length)/(time³) Explanation: The term x = ½ at² + bt³ should meet dimensional consistency. This means that both bt³ and ½ at² must share the same units, which are length. To find the dimension of b, we rearrange the equation: [x] = [b]*[t]³ leads to length = [b]*time³, hence [b] = length/time³.

A rotating beacon is located 2 miles out in the water. Let A be the point on the shore that is closest to the beacon. As the bea
serg [2593]

Answer:

v = 3369.2 m/s

Explanation:

The beacon is rotating at an angular speed of

f = 10 rev/min

so we have

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi(\frac{10}{60})

\omega = 1.047 rad/s

We know that

v = r \omega

At this point we have

r = 2 miles = 2(1609 m)

r = 3218 m

So we can conclude with

v = 3218(1.047)

v = 3369.2 m/s

The resulting motion can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, as the two components (north and east) are at right angles. To find the direction, trigonometry is applied, yielding Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

A vector A is added to B=6i-8j. The resultant vector is in the positive x direction and has a magnitude equal to A . What is the
Yuliya22 [2420]

The answer is letter d, 8.3.

 

Here’s a solution for the given problem:

 

We have:

B = 6i - 8j 


Let A be unknown; we'll denote A as = mi + nj 



The resultant A+B lies along the x-axis (which implies A+B = Ki + 0j, where K is yet to be determined,

 

and we also know the magnitude of A+B is equivalent to the magnitude of A,

 

therefore, mag(A+B)=K=sqrt(m^2+n^2), or K^2 = m^2+n^2. 



Using vector addition, A+B becomes (m+6)i + (n-8)j.

 

Since we know A+B = Ki + 0j, we can establish that: 

m + 6 = K 


n - 8 = 0, which gives n=8. 

Thus, K^2=m^2+n^2 means (m+6)^2 = m^2 +8^2 


= m^2 + 12m + 36 = m^2 + 64 


which gives us 12m = 28 


m = 2.33333... 

Consequently, the magnitude of A is sqrt[(2.333...)^2 + 8^2] = 8.3333.

Yuliya22 [2420]

Answer:

C) True. The distance S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀), illustrating that v₁> v₂ for the same t.

Explanation:

We have a set of statements to evaluate for correctness. The most effective approach is to examine the problem in detail.

Using the equation for vertical launch, we acknowledge that the positive direction signifies downward movement.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Stone 2

Released shortly thereafter, let's assume a delay of one second, we can utilize the same timing mechanism

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

We can now calculate the separation distance between the two stones, which is applicable for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t² - 2 t t₀ + t₀²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t - t₀)

This represents the distance between the two stones over time, with the coefficient outside the parentheses being constant.

For t < to, the first stone remains stationary while the distance grows.

For t > = to, the expression (2t/to-1) yields a value greater than 1, indicating that the distance expands as time progresses.

We can now analyze the different statements

A) false. The height difference increases over time.

B) False S increases.

C) It is true that S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) indicating v₁> v₂ at the same t.
