6 sec can take penny to strike the ground.

Solution:

Given data:

H_0=288 feet

V_0=48 feet

h(t)=288+48t-16t^2

Re-arrange the terms from greatest degree to smallest degree.

h(t)=-16t^2+48t+288

We can solve it by applying quadratic formula,

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Here a = –16, b = 48, c = 288

$t=\frac{-48\pm \sqrt{48^2-4(-16)(288)}}{2(-16)}

$t=\frac{-48\pm \sqrt{2304+18432}}{-32}

$t=\frac{-48\pm \sqrt{20736}}{-32}

$t=\frac{-48\pm144}{-32}

Now, write find two t's using plus and minus operation.

$t=\frac{-48+144}{-32},\ \ t=\frac{-48-144}{-32}

$t=\frac{96}{-32},\ \ t=\frac{-192}{-32}

t = –3 (or)   t = 6

We cannot write time is negative. so neglect t = –3.

Therefore t = 6.

Hence 6 sec can take penny to strike the ground.

Item 7 you and a friend are running on treadmills. you run 0.5 mile every 3 minutes, and your friend runs 2 miles every 14 minut
sweet [91]
<span>You run 0.5 miles every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes. Your friend runs 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes. You run a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 6. Your freind runs a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 7 Then the least possible number of miles that you both run to end at the same time is the least common factor of 7 and 6 minutes. This is 7 * 6 = 42 minutes. You will have run 42 min / (6 miles/min) = 7 miles, and your friend will have run 42 min / (7 miles/min) = 6 miles</span>
