to find the vertical height

multiply the tangent of the angle by the horizontal distance

so tan(12) x 5 = 1.0628

rounded to nearest hundredth = 1.06 miles

A ball is thrown in the air from a height of 3 m with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. To the nearest tenth of a second, how long

stepladder [879]

Answer: 1.4 seconds

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation is: h(t) = at² + v₀t + h₀ where

a is the acceleration (in this case it is gravity)
v₀ is the initial velocity
h₀ is the initial height

Given:

a = -9.81 (if it wasn't given in your textbook, you can look it up)
v₀ = 12
h₀ = 3

Since we are trying to find out when it lands on the ground, h(t) = 0

EQUATION: 0 = 9.81t² + 12t + 3

Use the quadratic equation to find the x-intercepts

a=-9.81, b=12, c=3

$x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-(12)\pm \sqrt{(12)^2-4(-9.81)(3)}}{2(-9.81)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12\pm 16.2}{-19.62}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+ 16.2}{-19.62}=-0.2\qquad x=\dfrac{-12- 16.2}{-19.62}=\large\boxed{1.4}\\$

Note: Negative time (-0.2) is not valid

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

im assuming you need the volume of this container:

$Volume=\pi r^{2} h$

$Volume=\pi (1.5^{2} )(3.5)=24.7$
