Answer: 17.68 s
Explanation:
This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:
(1)
Where:
is the height of the ball when it hits the ground
is the initial height of the ball
is the initial velocity of the ball
is the time when the ball strikes the ground
is the acceleration due to gravity
Having this clear, let's find
from (1):
(2)
Rewritting (2):
(3)
This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form
, which can be solved with the following formula:
(4)
Where:



Substituting the known values:
(5)
Solving (5) we find the positive result is:

Answer:
Potential energy is 
Explanation:
The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.
Potential energy 
In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.
But we know the values of g and h


So, the potential energy

m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.
The original width was 94.71 cm
<span>The area decreased 33.1% </span>
<span>The equation for the final size is </span>
<span>2X^2 = 1.2 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 - 0.6 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 = 10000 * .6 cm </span>
<span>X = 77.46 cm (this is the width) </span>
<span>The length is 2 * 77.46 = 154.92 cm </span>
<span>The original length was 154.92 + 34.5 = 189.42 cm </span>
<span>The original width was 189.42 / 2 = 94.71 cm </span>
<span>The original area was 94.71 * 189.92 = 17939.9 cm^2 </span>
<span>The new area is 79.46 * 154.92 = 12000.1 cm^2 </span>
<span>The difference between the original and current area is 17939.9 - 12000.1 = 5939.86 cm^2 </span>
<span>The percentage the area decreased is 5939.86 ' 17939.9 = 33.1%</span>
