A ball is dropped off an office building that is 790 feet tall. Apply the function h(t)=-16t^2, where h(t) is the height of the

ball at the time t, and c is its initial height. Approximately how long did it take the ball to hit the ground

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This models the parabolic function

h(t)=-16t^2+v_{i}t+h_{i},

where h(t) is the height after the motion occurs, v_{i} is the initial upwards velocity, and h_{i} is the initial height from which the object was launched or dropped.  Because we do not have any upwards velocity when an object is dropped straight down, it is only affected by gravity.  Our function for this situation is

h(t)=-16t^2+790

To find when the object hits the ground, replace the h(t) with a 0, since the height of something when it hits the ground has no height at all.  Factor the quadratic for t, time.

0=-16t^2+790 and

0=-16(t^2-49.375)

By the Zero Product Property, either

-16 = 0 or t^2-49.375=0

Since -16 definitely does not equal 0, then

t^2-49.375=0 and

t^2=49.375

Taking the square root of both sides and only allowing for the principle (positive) root since time will never be negative, then

t=\sqrt{49.375} and

t = 7.03 seconds

Determine if triangle OPQ and triangle RST are or are not similar, and, if they are, state which triangle similarity shortcut (A
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

SAS Similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔOPQ similar to ΔRST

∠Q  = ∠T

OQ : RT = 28 : 84 = 1 : 3

QP : TS  = 16 : 48 = 1 : 3

The measures of two sides of ΔOPQ are proportional to the measure of two side of ΔRST and their included angles are congruent.  The triangles are similar by SAS Similarity.
