To estimate the height of a building, a stone is dropped from the top of the building into a pool of water at ground level. The

splash is seen 5.6 seconds after the stone is dropped. What is the height of the building? Use the position function s(t) = 4.9t² + v_0 t + s_0 for free falling objects.

Answer:

The height of the building is 153.664 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

s(t) = 4.9t^2 + v_0 t + s_0

Here t represents the time v₀ represents the initial velocity, s₀ represents the initial height and s(t) represents the height after t seconds.

It is given that the splash is seen 5.6 seconds after the stone is dropped.

That means after 5.6 seconds height s(t) = 0, Also the initial velocity of the stone is 0.

Substitute respective values in the above function.

0 = 4.9(5.6)^2 +5.6(0)+ s_0

0 = 4.9(31.36)+ s_0

s_0=-153.664

As height can't be a negative number so the value of s₀ is 153.664.

Hence, the height of the building is 153.664 meter.

BabaBlast [244]
Converting all values to decimal, we have
1/5 = 0.2
19% - 19/100 = 0.19

Therefore the snack that contains 19% has the least amount of calories from fat.

A disco ball is shaped like a sphere with a diameter of 16 inches. To the nearest square inch, what is the surface of the disco
Mademuasel [1]
If the diameter is 16 inches, then its radius is half that, r = 8.

\bf \textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\
A=4\pi r^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
r=8
\end{cases}\implies A=4\pi 8^2

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

35 percent of total miles traveled (say T)is 252 miles.

(35/100) * T=252

T=(252*100)/35 => T=720 miles

So total distance the Ramirez family traveled during its vacation is 720 miles

Triangle MNP will be dilated according to the rule
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

N'  =(-2, 6) will be the coordinates of vertex N' of the image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle MNP will be dilated according to the rule  (x,y), where point P is the center of dilation.

Given the coordinate N = (0, 2)

The rule of dilation with scale factor k =2 and point P is the center of dilation is given by:

(x, y) \rightarrow (2x -2 , 2y +2)

then;

N(0, 2) \rightarrow N'(2(0) -2 , 2(2) +2) = N'(-2, 6)

Therefore, the coordinate of vertex N' of the image is, (-2, 6)
