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.

Answer:

After 3 seconds the object hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

An object is dropped off a building that us 144 feet tall. After how many seconds does the object hit the ground.

Given that displacement, s = 16t²

To reach ground displacement should be 144 feet.

That is

s = 16t² = 144

t² = 9

t = 3 seconds.

After 3 seconds the object hit the ground.

The length of a side of a triangle is 36. A line parallel to that side divides the triangle into two parts of equal area. Find t

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Length of DE is : 18√2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a side of a triangle is 36.

To calculate : The length of the segment DE

Now, the two parts of triangle have equal area ∴ Area(ADE) = Area(BDEC)

$\implies Area(ADE)=\frac{1}{2}\times Area(ABC) \\\\\implies \frac{Ar(ADE)}{Ar(ABC)}=\frac{1}{2}$

In ΔABE and ΔABC,

∠A = ∠A (Common angles)

∠ABE = ∠ABC (Corresponding angles are always equal)

By AA postulate of similarity of triangles, ΔABE ~ ΔABC.

Hence by area side proportionality theorem

$\frac{Ar(ADE)}{Ar(ABC)}=(\frac{DE}{BC})^2\\\\\implies \frac{1}{2}=\frac{DE^2}{36^2}\\\\\implies DE^2=\frac{36^2}{2}\\\\\bf\implies DE=18\sqrt{2}\textbf{ units}$

Hence, length of DE is 18√2 units

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Let success be that a plant dies in the winter and failure be that a plant survives the winter, then
p = 0.05, q = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

a.) P(1 or more will not survive the winter) = 1 - P(all will survive the winter) = 1 - P(0) = 1 - 10C0 (0.05)^0 (0.95)^10 = 1 - 1(1)(0.5987) = 0.4013

b.) P(all will survive) = P(none will die) = P(0) = 0.5987
