Physics students drop a ball from the top of a 100 foot high building and model its height as a function time with the equation h(t) = 100 - 16t^2. Determine, to the nearest tenth of a second, when the ball hits the ground.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

When the ball hits the ground, the height is 0.

0 = 100 - 16t²

0 = (10 - 4t)(10 + 4t)

0 = 10 - 4t     or     0 = 10 + 4t

4t = 10          or       -4t = 10

 t = (10)/(4)             or          t = -(10)/(4)

Time cannot be negative (unless you have a time machine) so disregard  -(10)/(4)

Answer: t = (5)/(2) = 2.5 seconds

The ratio of D's to A's in the school was 4 to 72. If there were 1080 A's in the school this term, how many D's were there? Write your answer in a complete sentence.

Answers

Answer:

To find the number of D's in the school, we can use the given ratio of D's to A's and the number of A's provided.

The ratio of D's to A's is given as 4 to 72. This means that for every 4 D's, there are 72 A's.

We are also given that there are 1080 A's in the school this term.

To find the number of D's, we can set up a proportion using the ratio:

4 D's / 72 A's = X D's / 1080 A's

Cross-multiplying, we get:

4 * 1080 = 72 * X

Simplifying further:

4320 = 72X

Dividing both sides by 72:

X = 4320 / 72

X = 60

Therefore, there were 60 D's in the school.

In your office 1/8 of 288 employees work part-time how many are part-time

Answers

That would be 1/8 times 288, so the answer would be 36 part time workers. 

Final answer:

You can find the number of part-time employees by multiplying the total employees by the fraction of part-time workers. In this case, that results in 36 part-time employees.

Explanation:

To determine the number of employees who work part-time, we need to multiply the total number of employees (which is 288) by the fraction representing part-time workers (1/8).

So, 288 * 1/8 = 36. Therefore, there are 36 employees who work part-time in your office.

A square field has an area of 479 ft2. What is the approximate length of a side of the field? Give your answer to the nearest foot.A. 240
B. 23
C. 22
D. 21

Answers

The approximate length of a side of the square field is 22 feet.

Given,

A square field has an area of 479 ft².

We need to find out what is the approximate length of a side of the field.

Give your answer to the nearest foot.

What is the area of a square?

It is given as :

Area = side²

Find the length of a side of a square.

Side = length of a side

Area = side²

We have,

Area = 479 ft²

479 = side²

Side = √479

Side = 21.886

Rounding to the nearest foot.

Side = 21.886 feet

0.886 can be round to 1 foot.

So,

Side = 22 feet.

Thus the approximate length of a side of the square field is 22 feet.

Hey there,

So all we really need to do for this one is 

area=LW, L=W in squaer so 479=L^2, squaer root both sides, L=W=21.88=22 rounded

so it is C
