Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

time taken to reach the max height is expressed according to the projectile equation;

tmax = u/g

Given u = 30m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81

t = 30/9.81

t = 3.0secs

hence it will take the flare 3.06secs to reach its maximum height.

Max height = u²/2g

Max height = 30²/2(9.81)

Max height = 900/19.62

Max height = 45.87m

If the people set off an emergency flare from a height of 2 meters above the water, the total height will be 45.87 + 2 = 47.87m

The quadratic formula is above.

You want each equation in standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
I begin each problem by defining variables.
For instance 3. Is in standard form. X^2 -2x - 3 = 0. a = 1, b = -2, c = -3

Now use quadratic formula: x = [- b + or - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]\2a

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A chicken has 2 legs, a pig has four. 13 pigs x 4 legs each = 52

4 chickens x 2 legs each = 8

52+8= 60 legs in total

So there are 13 pigs and 4 chickens

I've got a q: An airplane touches down on the runway with a speed of 70 m/s. It decelerates at a rate of -5 m/s 2. Determine the
Helga [31]
After 1 sec it would be 65 m/s
after 2 sec it would be 55 m/s
after 3 sec it would be 40 m/s
after 4 sec it would be 20 m/s
and so on. The equation for this is
S = 70 - (-5(t)) where s=speed and t=time passed
