Answer:Answer:

300 seconds

Explanation:

We solve this problem using the equation of uniform motion;

d  =v*t

d: Distance traveled

t:  Time

v: Speed

We raise the equations of uniform motion because they run at a constant speed.

dJ=3.8*tJ   Motion equation for Jenny

dA=4*tA   Motion equation for Alyssa

d:distancia

When Jenny and Alissa meet, they will have traveled the same distance,then:

dJ=dA

3.8 tJ  =4*tA

tA =\frac{3.8}{4} * tJ

tA =0.95¨*tJ Equation (1)

Jenny runs 15 seconds longer than Alyssa,then:

tJ = tA+15 Equation (2)

We replace tA =0.95tJ of the Equation (1) in the Equation (2):

tJ = 0.95*tJ +15

tJ-0.95*tJ=15

0.05* tJ=15

tJ=\frac{15}{0.05}

tJ=300 s

Alyssa catch up with Jenny in 300 s after Jenny’s start .

jonny [76]

Given :

Initial velocity, u = 12.5 m/s.

Height of camera, h = 64.3 m.

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s².

To Find :

How long does it take the camera to reach the ground.

Solution :

By equation of motion :

h = ut+\dfrac{gt^2}{2}

Putting all given values, we get :

12.5t+\dfrac{9.8t^2}{2}=64.3\\\\4.9t^2+12.5t=64.3

t = 2.56  and t = −5.116.

Since, time cannot be negative.

t = 2.56 s.

Therefore, time taken is 2.56 s.

Hence, this is the required solution.
