The distance s that an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time t of the fall. If an object falls 16 feet

Answer: if S is the distance, the fact that the distance is proportional to the square of the time means that S(t) = a*t^{2} where a is a constant of proportionality, with units of \frac{feet}{s^{2} }.

We know that S(1) = 16 feet = a*1, then a = 16\frac{feet}{s^{2} }

then S(2) = 16*4 feet = 64.

and if we want to know in how much time te objet will fall 400feet, then S(t₀) = 400 feet = 16*t₀^{2}

so t₀ = \sqrt{400/16} = 5s.

Jenna manipulated the equation 4x + 7=10 by adding -7 to both sides.Which of the follolwing properties justifies this manipulati
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The addition property of equality justifies this. You could also say that she simply subtracted 7, and then it would be the subtraction property of equality. This is the case because if you add or subtract (or multiply or divide) the same number on both sides of an equation, the equation will still be the same.


Hope it helps!
