Answer: 3.675 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, when the object hits the ground, h=0:
h=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5
0=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5
We have to apply the quadratic formula:
For: ax2+ bx + c
x =[ -b ± √b²-4ac] /2a
Replacing with the values given:
a=-16 ; b=48.6; c=37.5
x =[ -(48.6) ± √(-48.6)²-4(-16)37.5] /2(-16)
x = [ -48.6 ± √ 4,761.96] /-32
x = [ -48.6 ± 69] /-32
Positive:
x = [ -48.6 + 69] /-32 = -0.6375
Negative:
x = [ -48.6 - 69] /-32 = 3.675 seconds (seconds can't be negative)
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
Answer:
We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:
15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x
15,5 = 3x + 1,5 / - 1,5 (both sides)
14 = 3x / : 3 (both sides)
x ≈ 4,66
The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.
