. A high school currently has a 30% dropout rate. They’ve been tasked to decrease that rate by 20%. Find the equivalent percenta
1 answer:
Answer:
The equivalent percentage point drop = 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage point change is the difference between the final and initial values.
The percentage change is the difference between the final and initial values
divided by the initial value
It is required to decrease the dropout rate from 30% to 20%
The point change = 20 - 30 = -10 (-ve change ⇒ decrease)
The percentage change = %
So, the equivalent percentage point drop = <u>10%</u>
And the percentage change = <u>33.33%</u>

From the equation of motion, we know,
Where s= displacement
u= initial velocity
a= gravitational force
t= time
Displacement is 0 since the ball comes back to the same point from where it was thrown.
A = since the ball is thrown upwards.
Plug the known values into the equation.
=>
Solving for u gives :
u= 16.67 m/ sec ....... equation (1)
At maximum height, final velocity i.e v is 0
Time take to reach the top =
=>
Solving for s we get
s= 14.16 m
