How do you calculate the initial speed given time and displacement?The question is: The longest kick in CFL history was 83.2m. If the ball remained in the air for 4.12s, determine its initial speed.
I calculated it several times and got the same answer, 40.38m/s, but the textbook says it's 28.6m/s.

Answer 1
Answer: Let's first find the velocity in the x-direction which is constant.
d = vt \n v = (d)/(t) \nv = (83.2m)/(4.12s) \n v= 20.2m/s

Now, we need the velocity in the y-direction
d = v_(o)t + (1)/(2)a t^(2) \n d - (1)/(2)at^(2) = v_(o)t\nv_(o) = (0 - (1)/(2)(-9.81)(4.12)^(2))/(4.12)\nv_(o) = 20.2m/s

Finally, we need to put the two velocities together using pythagorean theorem
v_(t)^(2) = v_(x)^(2) + v_(y)^(2)
v_(t) = \sqrt{20.2^(2) + 20.2^(2)}
v = 28.6m/s

A convex lens _____.

converges light
bulges in the middle
diverges light
is thinner in the middle

Answers

Answer:

Options C and the D are the correct answer.

Explanation:

There are two types of lenses: concave lenses and convex lenses. A convex lens is thinner in the middle. On the other hand, convex lenses are also called diverging lens because after the light passes through it, the ray light spreads out. Due to this, diverges light and is thinner in the middle are the correct answer.
converges light to a focal point.

Answers

the correct answer is this one: "A. Euphemism." Up to 80% of doctors endorse this project" uses Euphemism as a  rhetorical device.
Here are the choices.
A. Euphemism
B. Weasel Words
C. Proof Surrogate
D. Innuendo
E. Hyperbole

Answer;

Proof Surrogate.

Explanation;

A claim masquerading as proof or evidence, when no such proof or evidence is actually being offered.

Proof Surrogate is an expression used to suggest that there is evidence for a claim without actually citing any evidence.  For example;

-“Scientists have known that aliens exist for years now.”

-“Everyone knows that bottled water is better for you than tap water.”

Rachel is helping her younger brother replace a broken part in his toy ambulance. This part is responsible for converting electric energy into light energy. Which of these devices should they use for the replacement?bulb

Answers

"The Light Bulb" would be the answer of your question. It converts "Electrical energy" into "Light Energy". So, they should use this, for their replacement purpose in the toy.

In short, Option A is your correct answer.

Hope this helps!

A set of water waves travels at 10.0 m/s, and 4.0 waves pass you in 2.0 s. what is the wavelength of the waves?

Answers

Frequency is the number of waves passing in 1 second. 4 waves passes in 2 sec, so 2 waves will pass in 1 sec. Hence frequency is 2. Wavelength = speed of wave/frequency = 10/2 = 5m. Hence wavelength is 5m.
