Find the coordinates that correspond to the maximum point of the following equation: y = −16x^2 + 160x - 256

To solve this problem, the maximum and minimum points of equations can be deduced through the differentiation process. This looks at the gradient of the function and the maximum/minimum value occurs when the...

A ball of mass 0.7 kg strikes the wall at an angle of 90 degrees with speed 72 km/h. Consider that the bounce lasts for 0.1 s and is perfectly elastic. What is the magnitude of the average reaction force from the wall that acts on the ball?

initial speed: v = 72 km/h = 20 m/s. mass: m = 0.7 kg time of the impact: t = 0.1 s average force: F The speed after impact is the same as initial speed, but velocity has got the opposite direction. Therefor...
