Problem 77
Use a vertical motion model to find how long it will take for the object to reach the ground. Round your solution to the nearest tenth. A lacrosse player throws a ball upward from her playing stick from an initial height of 7 feet, with an initial velocity of 90 feet per second.
Problem 77
Use the following information. A tsunami is a destructive, fast-moving ocean wave that is caused by an undersea earthquake, landslide, or volcano. Scientists can predict arrival times of tsunamis by using water depth to calculate the speed of a tsunami. A model for the speed \(s\) (in meters per second) at which a tsunami moves is \(s=\sqrt{g d}\) where \(d\) is the depth (in meters) and \(g\) is 9.8 meters per second per second. CRITICAL THINKING Is the speed of a tsunami in water that is 4000 meters deep four times the speed of a tsunami in water that is 1000 meters? Explain why or why not.
Problem 81
