The position equation is s = -16t^2 + vot + so where s is height of the object in feet, vo is the initial velocity of the object

, and so is the initial height of the object, and t is the time in seconds.
A cargo plane flying at 8000 ft. over level terrain drops a 500-pound supply package.

A.      For this case, let us set the variables:

s = 0 (final destination on the ground)

t = unknown

vo = 0

so = 8000 ft

Using the equation, we calculate for t:

0 = -16 t^2 + 0t + 8000

t = 22.36 s


B.      For this case:

s = unknown

t = 22.36 s

vo = 600 miles/hr = 880 ft/s

so = 0

Using the equation, we calculate for s:

s = -16*(22.36)^2 + 880*22.36 + 0

s = 11, 677.29 ft = 2.21 miles

In the diagram below of triangle UVW, X is a midpoint of UV and Y is a midpoint
NeTakaya

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: X is midpoint of UV and Y is midpoint of VW.

\therefore XY || UW

(By mid-point theorem)

\therefore \angle XYV \cong \angle UWY\\.. (corresponding\: \angle 's) \\\therefore m\angle XYV = m\angle UWY\\\therefore 98 - 6x = 63- x\\\therefore 98 - 63= 6x- x\\\therefore 35= 5x\\\\\therefore x = \frac{35}{5}\\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore x = 7}} \\\\m\angle UWY = (63 - x) °\\\\\therefore  m\angle UWY = (63 - 7) °\\\\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore  m\angle UWY = 56 °}}

Determine and state the coordinates of the center and length of the radius of a circle whose equation is
padilas [110]
First, rewrite the equation in standard form.
The center-radius form of the circle equation<span> is in the format:
(x – h)^</span>2<span> + (y – k)^</span>2<span> = r^</span>2
<span>with the center being at the </span>point<span> (h, k) and the radius being "r".
</span>
(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 81

From here, you can determine the center and radius. The center is at (3,-4) and the radius is 9.
