Final speed = initial speed + (acceleration x time)
(final speed - initial speed) = acceleration x time
Time = (final speed - initial speed) / acceleration
Answer: An jack makes changing a tire easier because it lifts up the car to get the tire off of the ground.
Explanation:
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is:
<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>
<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>
<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>
