Answer:

A. 16t2 -116t -101=0 B. 8.0s

Explanation:

Known parameters from the question:

Height of Cliff,h0 = 101ft

Velocity of rocket ,v= 116ft/s.

1.Substituting the above to the above formula we have;

h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0

Since h(t) =0, it means the rocket is falling towards the ground, when it gets to the ground when it's at rest the height h(t) = 0m

{Note the rocket is launched from the height of the Cliff so that would be the initial height of the rocket,h0}

2.Substituting into h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0

We have;

0 = -16t2 + 116t + 101=> 16t2 -116t -101=0

Using formula method for solving quadratic equation we have;

t = -(-116)+_√[(-116)^2 -( 4× 16 ×-101]/ (2× 16)

t = [116 +_(141.1382)]/32

t = (116 -141.1382)/32 or (116 +141.1382)/32

-0.786s or 8.036s

-0.8s or 8.0s to the nearest tenth.

Now time cannot be negative in real life situation hence the time is 8.0s

Note : the general equation of a quadratic equation with variable t is given below;

at2 + bt + c=0

Formula method for quadratic equation is :

t =( -b+_√[(b^2 -( 4× a×c)] ) / (2× a)

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

This a pure case of conflict of interests between the interest of the shareholders who are the original owners of the company and management's interest in earning much more,even if it at the expense of the shareholders.

Explanation:

Management is the entrusted with the day to day affairs of corporations.In carrying out their duty,they must have at the back of their minds that maximization of shareholder's wealth is of top priority.

However.some management teams in a bid to gain undue advantage set their remuneration below reasonable levels.

Ultimately,when this happens, their duty to watch over the investment of shareholders clashes with their interest for personal gains.

Which element does not have the same number of electrons in its outermost shell as the other elements in its group?(1 point)
Setler79 [48]

Helium (He) does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.

The periodic table is divided into groups with the last number of the group coinciding with the number of electrons that an element in the group has in its outermost or valence shell.

Helium is in group 18 which means that it should have the same number of valence electrons as :

  • Neon
  • Argon
  • Krypton
  • Xenon and,
  • Radon

Yet Helium only has 2 valence electrons. We can therefore conclusively say that Helium does not have the same number of valence electrons as other elements in its group.
