An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward with an initial velocity of 10 meters per second, letting go of the baseball 2

meters above the ground. The equation of the baseball pathway can be modeled by h= -0.8t^2+10t+2. The same experiment is done on earth, in which the pathway is modeled by equation h= -4.9t^2+10t+2. How much longer would the ball stay in the air on the moon compared to on the Earth

Answer:

The baseball will stay 10.47s longer on the moon than on the earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time the baseball on the moon will stay  in air is until

h(t)= -0.8t^2+10t+2 =0. <em>(i.e when the ball reaches the ground)</em>

Similarly, the amount of time the baseball on earth will stay in air is until

h(t)-4.9t^2+10t+2=0

The solution to these equations can be found using the quadratic formula.

For the baseball on the moon

-0.8t^2+10t+2 =0

t = \dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4(-0.8*2)} }{2*-0.8}

whose positive solution is

\boxed{t= 12.697s}

And for the baseball on earth

-4.9t^2+10t+2 =0

t = \dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4(-4.9*2)} }{2*-4.9}

whose positive solution is

\boxed{t = 2.224s}

Thus, the baseball will stay 12.697s-2.2243s=10.472s longer on the moon than on the earth.

Using only whole numbers, how can you draw three rectangles with perimeter of 12 units
Assoli18 [71]
Perimeter means the sides add up to 12. 
Rectangles have two pairs of equal sides. 

2(one side) + 2(another side) = 12
2 (one side + another side) = 12 
(one side + another side) = 6 

To draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 12 units, the two adjacent sides must add up to 6. 
1 + 5
2 + 4 
3 + 3
