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.

For a snack, sander ate a plum with 32 calories and several strawberries with 4 calories each. If the total number of calories i
muminat

Answer:

6 strawberries

You subtract 32 from 56, which gives you 24. Then, if one strawberry is 4 calories, you can eat 6 of them to gain 24 calories.

32 + 24 = 56 ... So one plum (32) and six strawberries (4+4+4+4+4+4) gives you 56 calories, which is the total. That's how you can check your work.

Answer: 6
