X=side length of a campsite
12x(5+x)=1248  because each campsite has a length of x and there are 12                           and from the top of the camp to the water is the 5 yds + a                             side length and LW=1248
60x+12x^2=1248
12x^2+60x-1248=0
x^2+5-14=0
(x+7)(x-2)=0
x+7=0 or x-2=0
x=-7 or x=2
x=2 because width can't be negative
the width of one campsite is 2 yds

A rock is released from rest and freely falls 70 m to the ground. What is its velocity just before impact? A. 1.2 m/s B. 7.0 m/s
Yuri [45]

Answer:

37.04 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the equation x = x0 + v0t + 1/2at^2

a = -9.8 m/s^2, the acceleration due to gravity

x0 = 70 m, the starting point of x

v0 = 0 m/s

x = 0

this will allow us to solve for time

0 = 70 + 0 +-4.9t^2

t = 3.779

now we can use the equation v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8(3.77)

v = 37.04 m/s
