Help plssss I’m trying to finish this diagnostics test

Allushta [10]

Answer: 5 Seconds

Step-by-step explanation: Given the equation of the height expressed ad;

h(t) = - 16t^2 + initial height

Given that initial height = 400feet

h(t) = - 16t^2 + 400

The waste will hit the ground at when h(t) = 0

substitute

0 = - 16t^2 + 400

16t^2 = 400

t² = 400/16

t² = 25

t = √25

t = 5secs

864 multiple by two third ?

harkovskaia [24]

Here we will explain how to calculate two thirds of 864.

Two thirds of 864 is simply two thirds times 864, which can be written as follows:

Two/thirds x 864

Furthermore, you can convert "two" to "2" and "thirds" to "3" and then the equation and answer is:

2/3 x 864 = 576.00

Two thirds written as a fraction is 2/3. You can also write it as a decimal by simply dividing 2 by 3 which is 0.67.<span>If you multiply 0.67 with 864 you will see that you will end up with the same answer as above. </span>

<span>You may also find it useful to know that if you multiply 0.67 with 100 you get 66.67. Which means that our answer of 576.00 is 66.67 percent of 864. </span>

A car travels 2 1/3 miles in 3 1/2 minutes at a constant speed. Write an equation to represent the car travels in miles and minu

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

d = 0.666t , where d is in miles and t is in minutes.

d = 39.94h, where d is in miles and h is in hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

A car travels $2\frac{1}{3} = 2.33$ miles in $3\frac{1}{2} = 3.5$ minutes at a constant speed.

Let the relation between the distance (d) traveled by car in miles after traveling t minutes is d = kt ......... (1)

Now, putting d = 2.33 miles and t = 3.5 minutes in the above equation we get,

2.33 = 3.5k

⇒ k = 0.666 (Approx.)

So, the equation (1) becomes d = 0.666t. (Answer)

Let us assume that the relation between the distance (D) traveled by car in miles after traveling h hours is d = Kh ............ (2)

Now, putting D = 2.33 miles and T = 3.5/60 = 0.058 hours in the above equation, we get

2.33 = 0.058K

⇒ K = 39.94

So, the equation (2) we get, d = 39.94h (Answer)
