A rocket is launched from atop a 105-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 156 ft/s. The height of the rocket above the ground

at time t is given by h = –16t2 + 156t + 105. When will the rocket hit the ground after it is launched? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

Answer:

The correct option is 4. The rocket will hit the ground after 10.4 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

h=-16t^2+156t+105

Where, h is height of the rocket above the ground at time t.

The rocket will hit the ground, when h=0.

0=-16t^2+156t+105

Using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

t=\frac{-156\pm \sqrt{(156^2-4(-16)(105)}}{2(-16)}

t=-0.632,10.382

The time can  not negative, therefore after 10.382 second the rocket will hit the ground.

10.382\approx 10.4

Therefore the correct option is 4. The rocket will hit the ground after 10.4 s.

H = –16t2 + 156t + 105, when t = t', the time where the rocket hit the ground after it is launched, so 105= –16t'2 + 156t' + 105, so -16t'2 + 156t' = 0 implies t' =0 or -16t'+ 156= 0, equivalent to t'=9.75, so the answer is 
b) <span>9.8 s</span>

Look online for the growth of the trunk of a tree. Estimate how much time does it take for a water oak to grow one inch in diame
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The trunk of a tree grows in two different ways, first in height and second in diameter.Usually tree grows one ring per year in diameter. So, counting the number of rings we can determine the age of a tree. Both height and diameter growth does not occur at the same rate. Tree grows more in height than in their diameter. Mature trees usually grows 1 inch in diameter every year.

Water oak gains 24 inches in height  every year and  1.5 inch growth in diameter annually, meaning if we divide 1.5 inches by 12 months we gets 0.125 inches growth monthly. So a water oak tree needs only 8 months to grow 1 inch in diameter.
