H(t)=-16t^2+1221 is the function for the height as a function of time.  It will hit the ground when h=0 so:

-16t^2+1221=0

16t^2-1221=0

16t^2=1221

t^2=1221/16

t=√(1221/16) seconds

t≈8.74 seconds  (to nearest hundredth of a second)

S=16t^2
1221=16t^2
1221/16=t^2
square root of 76.3=t
t=8.7

a winery has a vat with two pipes leading to it. the inlet pipe can fill the vat 7 hours, while the outlet pipe can empty it in
raketka [301]
Lets say, for ease, that the vat can hold a total of 70 gallons (or whatever you would like to use.) Use whatever number you want, I just picked this because it gives us a lot of clean numbers. 

Now, if the inlet can fill it in 7 hours, that means that it is adding 10 gallons per hour. (70 gal/7 hours = 10 gal/hr)

For the outlet, use the same process, and you find that it drains the vat at 7 gallons per hour. 

So, if you subtract the outlet from the inlet, you get 10 - 7 = 3 gallons per hour added. 

Now just divide the size of the vat by that number, and you find your answer. 

70 gallons / 3 gallons per hour = 23 1/3 hours.
