Given s=16t^2 where s=distance in feet travelled (downwards) since airborne with zero vertical velocity and zero air-resistance t=time in seconds after release
Here we're given s=144 feet => s=144=16t^2 => t^2=144/16=9 so t=3 Ans. after 3 seconds, the object hits the ground 144 ft. below.
Ok so first u have to devide the 51 into 4. So 51 divided by 4 is 12.75. Then it is 75% of it so 75% is 3/4 so you will have to multiply 12.75 by 3. That would equal 38.25. YOUR ANSWER IS 38.25
