Answer:

t=2.47\ s  

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the height of the ball in feet as a function of time is

h(t) = h_0 + s_0t -16t ^ 2

Where h_0 is the initial height, s_0 is the initial velocity and t is the time in seconds.

We know that the initial height is:

h_0 = 4.5\ ft

The initial speed is:

s_0 = 110sin(20\°)\\\\s_0 = 37.62\ ft/s

So the equation is:

h (t) = 4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2

The ball hits the ground when when h(t) = 0

So

4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2 = 0

We use the quadratic formula to solve the equation for t

For a quadratic equation of the form

at^2 +bt + c

The quadratic formula is:

t=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

In this case

a= -16\\\\b=37.62\\\\c=4.5

Therefore

t=\frac{-37.62\±\sqrt{(37.62)^2 -4(-16)(4.5)}}{2(-16)}

t_1=-0.114\ s\\\\t_2=2.47\ s  

We take the positive solution.

Finally the ball takes 2.47 seconds to touch the ground

HELP!! Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Togeth
joja [24]

Answer:

  • first mechanic: $105/hour
  • second mechanic: $55/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the rate charged by the first mechanic. Then 160-r is the rate charged by the second mechanic. The total of charges is ...

  20r +5(160-r) = 2375

  15r +800 = 2375 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  15r = 1575 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 800

  r = 105 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15. First mechanic's rate.

  160-r = 55 . . . . . Second mechanic's rate

The first mechanic charged $105 per hour; the second, $55 per hour.
