The answer is 0.5 hours.

A velocity (v) of an object is a distance (d) divided by time (t):
v = d ÷ t                         ⇒                  t = d ÷ v

It is given:
v1 = 192 km/h
v2 = 960 km/h
t1 - t2 = 2h
We need to calculate t2.

Since they will travel the same distance before the jet overtakes the plane, we can say that d1 = d2 = d

Now, let's express t1 and t2:
t1 = d/192
t2 = d/960

Therefore: d/192 - d/960 = 2
The least common denominator is 960, so:
5d/960 - d/960 = 2
4d/960 = 2
4d = 2 · 960
4d = 1920
d = 1920 ÷ 4 = 480 km

Now t2 = d/960 = 480/960 = 0.5 hours.

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 36 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function

The ball's maximum height is 30.25 feet.

<h3>What is quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation in math is a second-degree equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0. Here a, b, are the coefficients, c is the constant term, and x is the variable.

Given:

h= -16t²+36t+10

Differentiate w.r.t. 't',

h' = -32t+36

When h=0, that will be the maximum height

32t= 36

t= 9/8

t= 1.125 sec.

So, The maximum height is

h(1.123)= -16(1.125)² + 36*1.125+10

h(1.125) = 30.25 feet.

BRAINLIST!!! The area of Alex's room is 168 square feet. If his room is a rectangle and one side is 12 feet, how long is the oth
Cloud [144]

Answer:

the missing length is 14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = L × W

168ft² = 12 × W     - divide both sides of the equation by 12

                             - 168 ÷ 12 = 14

168ft² = 12 × 14

Two marathon runners run the full distance of the marathon, approximately 26 miles, in 4 hours.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

6.5 miles in 1 hour and they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance covered by two marathon runners = 26 miles

They takes 4 hours

We need to find how many miles did they run in 1 hour

In 4 hour, the distance covered is 26 miles

To find distance covered in 1 hour, divide 26 by 4 such that.

d=\dfrac{26}{4}\\\\d=6.5\ \text{miles/hour}

So, they will cover 6.5 miles in 1 hour.

For percentage,

\%=\dfrac{26-6.5}{26}\times 100\\\\=75\%

So, they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.
