Answer:

  • h(t) = -16t^2 +188
  • 3.4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual equation for ballistic motion is ...

  h(t) = -16t^2 +v0·t +s0

where v0 is the initial upward velocity, and s0 is the initial height above some reference point.

Here, we presume there is no initial vertical velocity, and the height is given as 188 ft above the river. Since we want the time to reach the river, we're solving ...

  h(t) = -16t^2 +188

  h(t) = 0

  -16t^2 +188 = 0

  t^2 -11.75 = 0

  t = √11.75 ≈ 3.4

It takes about 3.4 seconds for the log to reach the river.

saw5 [17]
<span>-5(3t-5)+7t=8t-6
-15t + 25 + 7t = 8t - 6
-15t + 7t - 8t = -6 - 25
-16t = -31
16t = 31
t = 31/16 = 1.9375</span>
