H(t) = -16t² + vt + s

Where -16 is half of the gravitational constant of almost 32 ft/sec (downward, thus negative),

v is the initial velocity (90), and

s is the starting height (160)

so we have:

H(t) = -16t² + 90t + 160

How long before it hits the ground? Solve for h(t) = 0:

0 = -16t² + 90t + 160

Divide both sides by -2:

0 = 8t² - 45t - 80

Quadratic equation:

t = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / (2a)

t = [ -(-45) ± √((-45)² - 4(8)(-80))] / (2(8))

t = [ 45 ± √(2025 + 2560)] / 16

t = [ 45 ± √(4585)] / 16

throwing out the negative time:

t = (45 + √4585) / 16

t ≈ 7.04 seconds

Answer:

Radius= 8.86 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Pie x r^2 x 0.7= 172.48

Pie x r^2= 246.4

r^2= 78.43

R= square root of 78.43

Radius= 8.86m

Solve for m:<br> 2r= m/r <br><br><br> m = 2r<br> m = 2r squared by 2<br> m=r<br> m = 2
Bad White [126]
Solution

Switch sides so that m is on the left side

m/r = 2r

Them multiply both sides by r

mr/r = 2rr

Now simplify the equation

m = 2r^2

Therefore the equation evaluates to
m = 2r squared by 2

Transversal cuts parallel lines and at points X and Y respectively. The point nearest to C is X, and the point nearest to D is Y
hammer [34]

Answer:  The answer is (B) ∠SYD.


Step-by-step explanation: As mentioned in the question, two parallel lines PQ and RS are drawn in the attached figure. The transversal CD cut the lines PQ and RS at the points X and Y respectively.

We are given four angles, out of which one should be chosen which is congruent to ∠CXP.

The angles lying on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines are called alternate exterior angles.

For example, in the figure attached, ∠CXP, ∠SYD and ∠CXQ, ∠RYD are pairs of alternate exterior angles.

Now, the theorem of alternate exterior angles states that if the two lines are parallel having a transversal, then alternate exterior angles are congruent to each other.

Thus, we have

∠CXP ≅ ∠SYD.

So, option (B) is correct.
