A toy rocket is shot vertically into the air from a launching pad 9 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 88 feet pe

r second. The height h, in feet, of the rocket above the ground at t seconds after launch is given by the function
h(t) - 16^2 + 88ft +9. How long will it take the rocket to reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height?
The rocket reaches its maximum height at ____ second(s) after launch.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function for this is:

s(t)=-16t^2+88t+9. We can use this equation to find the position (or height) of the rocket at ANY TIME during its flight. I could find out the height of the rocket at 3 seconds by plugging in a 3 for t and solving for s(t); I could find the height of the rocket at 12 seconds by plugging in a 12 for t and solving for s(t), etc.

The first derivative of position is velocity:

v(t) = -32t + 88.

If we are looking for the time the rocket reaches it max height, we need to remember from physics class that this happens when the velocity of the object is at 0. We set the velocity equation equal to 0 then and solve for t:

0 = -32t + 88 and

-88 = -32t so

t = 2.75 seconds. This means that 2.75 seconds after the rocket is launched, it reaches its max height. In order to find what that max height is we plug 2.75 into the position equation for t and solve:

s(2.75)=-16(2.75)^2+88(2.75)+9 to get that

s(2.75) = 130

The max height is 130 feet and it reaches this point at 2.75 seconds into its motion.

F(x)=5(x-2) <br> find x if f(x)=-20
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 5(x-2)

since, f(x)= -20

-20 = 5(x-2)

x-2 = -20/5

x = - 4 + 2

x = -2

Which equation has exactly one solution in common with the equation y=6x-2?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

A. 18x - 3y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

By taking 3 common from the terms 18x and 3y we get,

3 (6x-3y) = 6

or, 6x - y = 6/3

or, 6x - y = 2

And,

The equation becomes,

y = 6x - 2

Two cars leave a rest stop at the same time and proceed to travel down the highway in the same direction one travels at an avera
Alika [10]

The two cars will be 5.5 miles apart after 5.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Speed of first car = 57 mph

Time = 5.5 hours

Distance covered by first car = Speed * Time

Distance covered by first car = 57*5.5 = 313.5 miles

Speed of other car = 58 mph

Distance covered by other car = 58*5.5 = 319 miles

Difference = 319 - 313.5

Difference = 5.5 miles

The two cars will be 5.5 miles apart after 5.5 hours.
