Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity =17 m/s
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Total height the rock is to fall when it is 8 meters from the ground is 

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 1.73 s.

Time taken from the maximum height to the point which is 8 m from the ground is 2.77 s.
So, time taken from the moment of the throw to the point 8 m from the ground is
.
Sinα=h/L
α=arcsin(h/L)° we are told that h=18 and L=20 so
α=arcsin(9/10)°
α≈64° (to nearest whole degree)
Multiply the amount of sales, by the percentage of commission.
12% = 0.12
2,400 x 0.12 = 288
He made $288 in commission
