Question

Can someone plz help me solved this problem I need help ASAP plz help me! Will mark you as brainiest!

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

initial speed = 272 ft/s

h = -16t² + 272t

a. 1120 = -16t² + 272t we change a bit into

16t² - 272t + 1120 = 0 then divide all with factor 16

t² - 17t + 70 = 0

(t - 10)(t - 7) = 0

t = 10 and t = 7

7 s when it goes up and 10 sec when the rocket goes down.

b. 1152 = -16t² + 272t we change a bit into

16t² - 272t + 1152 = 0 then divide all with factor 16

t² - 17t + 72 = 0

(t - 9)(t - 8) = 0

t = 9 and t = 8 sec

c. since the answer of a and b is:

7 sec and 8 sec the rocket goes up but at 9 sec and 10 sec the rocket goes down then we can take conclusion that the maximum height is reached at 8.5 s

so how long the rocket in the air?

goes up : 8.5 sec

goes down : 8.5 sec

total = 17 sec
