a) v(t)=8 -32.2t [ft/s]

b) h(t)=185+8t-16.1t^2 [ft]

c) 186 ft at 0.248 s

Explanation:

The motion of the weight is a free fall motion, which is subjected only to the force of gravity, downward.

Therefore, the motion of the object will be a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration of

g=32.2 ft/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

in the downward direction.

Therefore, the velocity of the weight after time t will be given by the following suvat equation:

v(t)=u-gt

where:

u=+8 ft/s is the initial vertical velocity (upward)

t is the time

Substituting the values of u and g, we find

v(t)=8 -32.2t [ft/s]

Since the motion of the weight is a uniformly accelerated motion, the expression that gives the displacement of the object at time t (and therefore, its height at time t), is given by

$h(t)=h_0 + ut -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h_0 = 185 ft is the initial height of the weight

u=+8 ft/s is the initial vertical velocity (upward)

g=32.2 ft/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

t is the time

And substituting these values, we find:

h(t)=185+8t-16.1t^2 [ft]

The time at which the weight reaches its maximum height above the ground can be found from the equation of the velocity: in fact, at the moment of maximum height, the direction of the weight changes, so its velocity will be zero at that instant:

v(t)=0

So we have

0=u-gt

And solving for t,

$t=\frac{u}{g}=\frac{8}{32.2}=0.248 s$

So, the weight reaches its maximum height after 0.248 s.

In order to find the maximum height, we just need to substitute this time into the equation of the height, h(t).

By doing so, we find:

$h(t)=h_0 + ut -\frac{1}{2}gt^2=185+8\cdot 0.248 -16.1\cdot (0.248)^2=186 ft$

Answer from: Quest

An atom (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6 nm. * if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
