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.

Graph the first six terms of a sequence where a1 = 3 and d = −10.
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term = (n-1)th term + common difference

d = -10

a₁ = 3

a₂ = a₁ + d = 3 + (-10) = -7

a₃ = a₂ + d = -7 + (-10) = -17

a₄ = a₃ + d = -17 + (-10) = -27

a₅ =a₄ + d = -27 + (-10) = -37

a₆ = a₅ + d = -37 + (-10) = -47

First six terms: 3 , -7 , -17, -27, -37 , -47

A square is shown having each side equal to 0.75 inch. Each side of the square has a triangle on it. The height of the triangle
ElenaW [278]
The area of the square can be found by...
0.75 • 0.75 = .5625

The area of one triangle can be found by...
1/2 • 0.8 • 0.75 = .3

In order to find the total surface area of the figure, you must...
.5625 + 4(.3) = 1.7625

So the answer is D
