Answer:

a. 4.5secs

Explanation:

From the question, the equation describing the height is given by

h(t)=320-16t^{2}\\

at the point when the rock hit the ground, the height,h will be zero.

Hence we can have

h(t)=320-16t^{2}\\\\at  h(t)=0\\0=320-16t^{2}\\hence \\320=16t^{2}\\t^{2}=\frac{320}{16}\\ t^{2}=20\\t=\sqrt{20}\\ t=4.47secs\\t=4.5sec\\

hence the rock will hit the ground in 4.5secs

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>Q</u><u>UESTION)</u></h3>

<em>✔ We have : a = v/Δt </em>

  • a = 426/7
  • a = 6 m/s²

The car's acceleration is therefore 6 m/s².
