Answer:

t=4s

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical displacement of an object in freefall is given by the next equation:

\Delta y=y_f-y_i=v_o_y t-\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where:

y_f=Final\hspace{3}position\\y_i=Initial\hspace{3}position\\t=Time\\g=Standard\hspace{3}gravity\\v_o_y=Initial\hspace{3}velocity\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}y-axis

This equation can be reduced to the equation given by the problem since:

v_o_y=0\\y_f=0\\y_i=s=256\\g\approx 32ft/s^2

Hence:

-s=-\frac{1}{2} 32t^2

Solving for t:

t^2=\frac{256}{16} =16\\\\t=\sqrt{16} =\pm4s

Since a negative time wouldn't have sense, the answer is 4 seconds

The inequality 10.45b + 56.50 &lt; 292.67 is used to find the number of boxes (b) that can be loaded on a truck without exceedin
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We solve the inequality by subtracting 56.50 from both sides of the equation,
                                10.45b + 56.50 - 56.50 < 292.67 - 56.50 
                                        10.45b < 236.17
Then, divide both sides of the inequality by 10.45
                                             b < 22.6
The solution suggests that the number of boxes than can be loaded on a truck without exceeding the weight limit of the truck should always be lesser than 22.6. Since we are talking about number of boxes, the maximum number of boxes that can be loaded should only be 22.

A group of students made trees out of paper for a scene in a school play. The trees are shaped like square pyramids. The base is
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

26.4ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

I first converted the centimeter values to feet

140Cm x 30.48 = 4.59

70cm x 30.48 = 2.3

the paper required is approximately equal to the area of the pyramid.

area of pyramid is equal to area of triangle + base²

Are of triangle = 1/2 x b xh

= 4 x 1/2 x4.59x2.3 + (2.3)²

= 2 x 4.59 x 2.3 + 5.29

= 26.4 feet²

therefore it will take 26.4 feet² paper to make each tree, including the bottom.
