In basketball, hang time is the time that both of your feet are off the ground during a jump. The equation for hang time is t =

2 (StartFraction 2 h Over 32 EndFraction) Superscript one-half , where t is the time in seconds, and h is the height of the jump, in feet.
Player 1 had a hang time of 0.9 s. Player 2 had a hang time of 0.8 s. To the nearest inch, how much higher did Player 1 jump than Player 2?

Considering the hang time equation, it is found that Player 1 jumped 0.68 feet higher than Player 2.

<h3>What is the hang time equation?</h3>

The hang-time of the ball for a player of jump h is given by:

t = 2\left(\frac{2h}{32}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}

The expression can be simplified as:

t = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}

For a player that has a hang time of 0.9s, the jump is found as follows:

0.9 = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}

\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}} = \frac{0.9}{2}

(\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}})^2 = \left(\frac{0.9}{2}\right)^2

h = 16\left(\frac{0.9}{2}\right)^2

h = 3.24 feet.

For a player that has a hang time of 0.8s, the jump is found as follows:

0.8 = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}

\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}} = \frac{0.8}{2}

(\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}})^2 = \left(\frac{0.8}{2}\right)^2

h = 16\left(\frac{0.8}{2}\right)^2

h = 2.56 feet.

The difference is given by:

3.24 - 2.56 = 0.68 feet.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! :D

Answer:

The number in the middle is 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2nd number = A

The 3rd number = B

The 4th number = C

Given:

(1) 130 + A + B = 300

(2) A + B + C = 200

(3) B + C + 10 = 100

Now, the work:

(2) can be modified to become A + B = 200 - C

Now, we can insert that into (1) and get the following;

130 + (200 - C) = 300

Open parentheses, simplify, you get C = 330 - 300.

C = 30

Using (3), we use above answer to get B + 30 + 10 = 100

Calculate, and get B = 100 - (30 + 10)

Simplify,

B = 60

There is your answer!

Cheers
