Answer:
Velocity = 59 feet/second
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = 15 + 60t – 16t2
Time t = 1 second
Let's substitute time into the equation to get the distance
h(t) = 15+60(1)-16(1)²
h(t) = 15 + 60 - 16
h(t) = 59 feet
Speed or velocity = distance/time
Distance = 59 feet
Time = 1 second
Velocity = 59/1
Velocity = 59 feet/s
Answer:
(a) So the top of the hill is 365 feet above sea level.
(b) Checkpoint 5 is 185 feet higher than checkpoint 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solution for (a):</u>
<u />
Checkpoint 2 is -218 feet above sea level.
The top of a hill rises 583 feet above Checkpoint 2.
The altitude of the top of the hill = -218 + 583 = 365
So the top of the hill is 365 feet above sea level.
<u>Solution for (b):</u>
<u />
Checkpoint 2 is -218 feet above sea level.
Checkpoint 5 is -33 feet above sea level.
Checkpoint 5 is -33 - -218 = 185 feet higher than checkpoint 2.
15x=180
x=12
hope this helps
