To find the time to reach ground solve -16t^2 +55 = 0

t^2 = 55/16
t = sqrt55 / 4 = 1.85 seconds

Answer:

Approximately 1.85 sec does it take the object to reach the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

If an object is dropped from a height of 55 feet

⇒h_0 = 55 ft

The function is given by:

d = -16t^2+55   .....[1] gives the height of the object after t seconds.

We make the table for some values of t.

t                    d

0                  55

1                  39

2                 -9

3                 -89

4                -201

Plot these points on the coordinate plane.

You can see the graph as shown below.

Now, find how long does it take the object to reach the ground (d=0).

Substitute d = 0  in [1] we have;

0 = -16t^2+55

⇒16t^2 = 55

Divide both sides by 16 we get;

t^2 = 3.4375

⇒

t =\pm \sqrt{3.4375}

Since, t cannot be in negative.

⇒t = 1.85404962 second.

Therefore, Approximately 1.85 sec does it take the object to reach the ground

The length of the segment from a point c _____ to the line AB gives the distance from point c to the line ab brainly
guapka [62]

Answer:

A. Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

When lines and/or points are in perpendicular to one another, the perpendicularity line between them measures the distance between both points and/or lines.

So to measure the distance between point c and line AB, a perpendicular line has to be drawn from c to AB or from AB to c. Either of these will arrive at the same result.

It should also be noted that the angle at the point of intersection of perpendicular lines is 90°.

The median is the number in the middle when all of the numbers are placed in order (from lowest to highest).

15; 17; 19; 42; 78; 85; 93


The answer in this case would be 42.
