You can use the equation d = 16t^2 (note: t is raised to the second power or squared) to determine the time t in seconds that it

takes a dropped object to fall a distance of d feet. How long (in seconds) does a fall of 224 feet take? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. *

Answer:

The time the object takes to fall on the ground from 224 feet is 3.74 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have a known quantity, the distance of the fall that is 224 feet and a equation that represents the motion of this fall that is d = 16t^2. We wish to find the time it'll take this object to fall, so we can solve this equation for t. It goes as follows:

d = 16t^2

d/16 = t^2

t^2 = d/16

t = \sqrt(d/16)

t = [\sqrt(d)]/4 = [\sqrt(224)]/4 = 14.97/4 = 3.74 s

where \sqrt is the square root of the number.

Answer:

3.7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We were provided with the equation d=16t² so as to determine the time t in seconds it takes for an object dropped to fall a distance of d-feet.

The question says how long(in seconds does)it take for a fall of 224 feet.

16t²=d

D= 224(substitute in the equation)

16t²= 224

t²= 224/16

t=√14

t= 3.7 seconds

Ray BD bisects 2ABC. Use the diagram and the given angle measure to
Alenkinab [10]
Assuming you mean angle ABC and not 2ABC?
Since ray BD bisects angle ABC we can set the two angle measures given equal to each other.
2x+7=4x-41
Solve for x=24
Plug in the x to find angle ABD 2(24)+7=55
therefore angle ABD is 55 and angle DBC is 55 so angle ABC is 110

Twin brothers,billy and Bobby, can mow their grandparents lawn together in 72 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself in 15
Alla [95]

Answer:

Billy used 28 mins 30 sec to mow the lawn and Bobby used 43 mins 30 sec to now the lawn both within 72 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent Billy

let x+15 represent Bobby

x + x + 15 = 72

2x = 72 - 15

2x = 57

2x/2 = 57/2

x = 28.5 minutes = 28 minutes 30 seconds

Bobby = x + 15

= 28.5 + 15

= 43.5 minutes= 43 minutes 30 seconds

What must be true for lines a and b to be parallel lines? Check all that apply
iren [92.7K]

the question does not present the options, but this does not interfere with the resolution


we know that

if a and b are parallel lines

so


1) m∠2=58°------> by corresponding angles


2) m∠1=4x-10------> by alternate exterior angles


3) [m∠2+m∠(3x-1)]+m ∠1=180°------> by supplementary angles

58+(3x-1)+4x-10=180

7x=180-47

7x=133

x=19°


4) angle (4x-10)=-4*19-10-------> 66°


5) angle 3x-1=3*19-1-------> 56°
