A lighthouse is built on the edge of a cliff near the ocean, as shown in the diagram above. From a boat located 200 feet from the base of the cliff, the angle of elevation to the top of the cliff is 18^(@) and the angle of elevation to the top of the lighthouse is 28^(@) . Which of the following equations could be used to find the height of the lighthouse, x, in feet?

Carlos and Katherine are estimating acceleration by rolling a ball from rest down a ramp. At 1 second, the ball is moving at 5 meters per second m/s, at 2 seconds, the ball is moving at 10 m/s, at 3 seconds, the ball is moving at 15m/s, and at 4 seconds, it is moving at 20m/s. When graphed on an xy-plane, which equation best describes the ball's estimated acceleration where y expresses speed and x ecpresses time?

A student performs an experiment to determine how the range of a ball depends on the velocity with which it is projected. The "range" is the distance between the points where the ball lends and from where it was projected, assuming it lands at the same height from which it was projected. It each trial, the student uses the same baseball, and launches it at the same angle. Table shows the experimental results. |{:("Trail","Launch speed" (m//s),"Range"(m)),(1,10,8),(2,20,31.8),(3,30,70.7),(4,40,122.5):}| Based on this data, the student then hypothesizes that the range, R, depends on the initial speed v_(0) according to the following equation : R=Cv_(0)^(n) , where C is a constant and n is another constant. Based on this data, the best guess for the value of n is :-

An inquistive student, determined to test the law of gravity for himself, walks to the top of a building og 145 floors, with every floor of height 4 m, having a stopwatch in his hand (the first floor is at a height of 4 m from the ground level). From there he jumps off with negligible speed and hence starts rolling freely. A rocketeer arrives at the scene 5 s later and dives off from the top of the building to save the student. The rocketeer leaves the roof with an initial downward speed v_0 . In order to catch the student at a sufficiently great height above ground so that the rocketeer and the student slow down and arrive at the ground with zero velocity. The upward acceleration that accomplishes this is provided by rocketeer's jet pack, which he turns on just as he catches the student, before the rocketeer is in free fall. To prevent any discomfort to the student, the magnitude of the acceleration of the rocketeer and the student as they move downward together should not exceed 5 g. Just as the student starts his free fall, he presses the button of the stopwatch. When he reaches at the top of 100th floor, he has observed the reading of stopwatch as 00:00:06:00. What should be the initial downward speed of the rocketeer so that he catches the student at the top of 100 the floor for safe landing ?
