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.

Two electrodes, separated by a distance d, in a vacuum are maintained at a constant potential difference. An electron, accelerat
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance between the electrodes is denoted as d.

The kinetic energy of the electron is represented as Ek when the electrodes are positioned at a distance of "d" apart.

Our goal is to determine the kinetic energy when they are separated by a distance of d/3.

K.E = ½mv²

It’s important to note that the mass remains constant; only velocity varies.

Additionally,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Assuming constant acceleration

Hence, m and a are fixed,

therefore,

K.E is directly related to d

Thus, as d increases, K.E increases, and conversely, when d decreases, K.E decreases.

Consequently,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

With K.E_1 equating to E_k

and d_1 being d

while d_2 is represented as d/3

This leads to K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

Thus, K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Finally,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

Therefore, the resultant kinetic energy is one third of the original E_k

Sav [3153]

The question lacks details. Here is the full question.

The accompanying image was captured with a camera capable of shooting between one and two frames per second. A series of photos was merged into this single image, meaning the vehicles depicted are actually the same car, documented at different intervals.

Assuming the camera produced 1.3 frames per second for this image and that the length of the car is approximately 5.3 meters, based on this information and the photo, how fast was the car moving?

Answer: v = 6.5 m/s

Explanation: The problem requires calculating the car's velocity. Velocity can be computed using:

v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Since the camera captured 7 images of the car and its length is noted as 5.3, the car's displacement is:

Δx = 7(5.3)

Δx = 37.1 m

The camera operates at 1.3 frames per second and recorded 7 images, thus the time driven by the car is:

1.3 frames = 1 s

7 frames = Δt

Δt = 5.4 s

<pconsequently the="" car="" was="" driving="" at:="">

v=\frac{37.1}{5.4}

v = 6.87 m/s

<pthe car="" moved="" at="" an="" estimated="">velocity of 6.87 m/s.

Sav [3153]
The reference frame of a passenger seated near the middle of the train shows that both the passenger and the bicyclist perceive the speed of light as constant; however, the events are simultaneous for the passenger, in contrast to the bicyclist. The time delay perceived by the bicyclist is given by Δt = Δd/vs, with Δd representing the train's length and vs being the speed of sound.
