2. The equation h(t)=−16t2+19t+110 gives the height of a rock, in feet, t seconds after it is thrown from a cliff.

1 answer:

8 0

For this case we have an equation of the form:
h (t) = - (1/2) * a * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
Where,
vo: initial speed
a: acceleration:
h0: initial height.
We have the following equation:
h (t) = - 16t2 + 19t + 110
Therefore, the initial velocity is:
vo = 19 feet / s
Answer:
The initial velocity when the rock is thrown:
vo = 19 feet / s

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope or gradient of a line is given by dividing change in y axis by the change in x axis. Slope is represented by m hence $m=\frac {\triangle y}{\triangle x}$ where $\triangle y$ is the change in y axis while $\triangle x$ is the change in x co-ordinates. Substituting $\triangle y$ with 6 units while 3 units substitute $\triangle x$ then the slope will be $m=\frac {6}{3}=2$

Therefore, the gradient is 2

Which point on the number line represents the product (5)(-2)(-1)2

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The Right Answer:

We need to mutiply all the numbers.

5*-2 = -10

-10*-1 = 10

The Wrong Answer:

(-2)*(-1) gives +2 (a negative number multiplied for another negative gives a positive number).

2*5 = +10

Taya2010 [7]

Answer

Josh's textbook reached the ground first

Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed let us re write correctly the height equation which in correct form reads:

$h(t)=-16t^2 +v_{o}t+s$ Eqn(1).

Where:

$h(t)$ : is the height range as a function of time

$v_{o}$ : is the initial velocity

$s$ : is the initial heightin feet and is given as 40 feet, thus Eqn(1). becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2 + v_{o}t + 40$ Eqn(2).

Now let us use the given information and set up our equations for Ben and Josh.

Ben:

We know that $v_{o}=60ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+60t+40$ Eqn.(3)

Josh:

We know that $v_{o}=48ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+48t+40$ Eqn. (4).

Now since we want to find whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds we need to solve each equation (i.e. Eqns. (3) and (4)) at $h(t)=0$ . Now since both are quadratic equations we will solve one showing the full method which can be repeated for the other one.

Thus we have for Ben, Eqn. (3) gives:

$h(t)=0-16t^2+60t+40=0$

Using the quadratic expression to find the roots of the quadratic we have:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(40)} }{2(-16)} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{6160} }{-32} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{15+/-\sqrt{385} }{8}\\\\t_{1}=4.3276 sec\\t_{2}=-0.5776 sec$
