A discus is thrown from a height of 3 feet with an initial velocity of 55 ft/s at an angle of 44° with the horizontal. How long

will it take for the discus to reach the ground?
I started off with 55cos(44)=40 then I made an equation 40t-16(t)=2.5 seconds? I feel like I did this wrong because I didn't add 3 feet anywhere
or do I add 3 in to 55cos(44) giving me an answer of 2.6

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
Yes, the 3 feet are important. 
<span>You can consider the datum (y=0) at 3' from the ground, and the ground is therefore at -3 feet. </span>

<span>The vertical initial velocity, vy, is u*sin(θ), so it gives </span>
<span>vy=55sin(44°)=38.21 approx. </span>

<span>The (vertical) distance travelled is given by: </span>
<span>S=vy*t-(1/2)gt² </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>S=-3 (ground) </span>
<span>vy=55sin(44°), and </span>
<span>g=32.2 ft/s² </span>
<span>Solve for t. </span>
<span>I get -0.08 and 2.45 s.</span>

kathy recorded the following measurement of length: 2.5 cm, 2.9 cm, and 3.1 cm. what is the mean for this set of values, in cm?
jeka94
2.5cm=25 mm
2.9cm=29 mm
3.1cm=31 mm
They give it in cm because it’s easier to guess how long it will be in real life

Simplify the linear expression
vekshin1

Answer:

\huge\boxed{-\frac{7}{8}a - \frac{1}{6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

This question utilizes combining like terms and common denominators. First you have to convert both terms including "a" to have a denominator of 8. You would do this by multiplying both the numerator, and the denominator by the same value. This value in the case of -\frac{1}{4} a would be 2, and in the case of \frac{2}{3} the value would be 2. This would result in the equation: -\frac{5}{8}a+\frac{4}{6}-\frac{2}{8}a-\frac{5}{6}. Then simply combine like terms to get your final answer.

Kwamee created a coffee blend for his cafe by mixing Kona beans and Fuji beans. Kona beans cost $11 per pound and Fuji beans cos
yKpoI14uk [10]
Let's use K for Kona and F for Fuji. The system of equations has to be a balanced system. For example, you can't mix the number of pounds of beans with the cost for each because pounds and dollars are different and you can only combine like terms...pounds with pounds and dollars with dollars. So let's start with the number of pounds. Since we don't know how much of each he bought we have the 2 unknowns, F and K, but we DO know that he bought 23 pounds total. So the first equation is
K + F = 23
Now let's see what we can do with the dollars. Again, we don't know how much he bought of each kind of coffee, but we do know that Kona beans cost $11 per pound and that Fuji beans cost $7.50 per pound, and we know that he spent a total of $197. So let's set that up:
11K + 7.50F = 197
Those are your 2 equations. It doesn't say you need to solve them, so you're done.
