Mark dropped an object from a bridge 400 feet above the ground level with an initial velocity of 0. He knows that the gravitatio

nal pull of the earth is about 16 feet per second squared. wants to find how many seconds,t, it will take the object to hit the ground. Match each expression with the correct equation that models this situation or solution.

Answer:

The first listed equation is the correct equation to solve

The correct answer is: t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me mention first that there is an error in the statement that the gravitational pull of the Earth is 16 ft/s^2. It is in fact 32 ft/s^2, and the actual equation uses half of the acceleration multiplied by the square of the variable time, so it gives as final expression :

y(t)=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400

and we want to find the value/s for "t" that make this equation equal zero (when it reaches the ground and the object just touches the ground. This makes the equation we want to solve:

0=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400\\16\,t^2+0\,t -400=0

which solving for "t" becomes:

16\,t^2-400 =0\\16\,t^2=400\\t^2=\frac{400}{16} \\t^2=25\\t= +/- 5\,\,sec

So we adopt the positive answer (positive time) since the negative value has no physical meaning for this problem.

That is: t = 5 seconds

You use for gallons of water on 14 plants in your garden. At this rate how much water will it take to water 35 plants?
nataly862011 [7]
The answer would be 10! I divided the number of plants that you can water with 4 gallons (14) by, well, the number of gallons it takes to water them (4) and got 3.5 (14 / 4 = 3.5), the number of plants you can water with one gallon. I then divided the number of plants you need to water (35) by the number of gallons it takes to water one plant (3.5) and came up with 10. I hope this helps you!
