Answer:

- time = 1second

- maximum height = 16m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of a pumpkin t seconds after it is launched from a catapult modelled by the equation

f(t)=-16t²+32t... (1)

The pumpkin reaches its maximum height when the velocity is zero.

Velocity = {d(f(x)}/dt = -32t+32

Since v = 0m/s (at maximum height)

-32t+32 = 0

-32t = -32

t = -32/-32

t = 1sec

The pumpkin reaches its maximum height after 1second.

Maximum height of the pumpkin is gotten by substituting t = 1sec into equation (1)

f(1) = -16(1)²+32(1)

f(1) = -16+32

f(1) = 16m

The maximum height of the pumpkin is 16m

Please help! 30 points and crown! A diagonal of a cube measures StartRoot 750 EndRoot cm. The diagonal of a face measures StartR

rodikova [14]

Let length, width, and height be s.

Then diagonal of any face would be √( s² + s² ) = √( 2s² )

And we know that it measures √( 500 ) so that's sufficient for us to figure out the length of an edge of the cube. We do not need to worry about the diagonal of the cube.

Now we have to solve √( 500 ) = √( 2s² )

Square both sides:

500 = 2s²

Divide both sides by 2:

250 = s²

Take the square root of both sides:

√(250) = s ≈ 15.8113883

Rounding to nearest tenth:

s ≈ 15.8

Final answer: 15.8

Hope this helps.
