Answer:

5 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object is given as:

h = -16t^2+48t+160

The moment when the object hits the ground, the height of the object will be 0 m.

Hence:

0 = -16t^2+48t+160

Solving this for t:

Divide through by 16 and move all parameters to the left hand side:

t^2-3t-10 = 0

t^2 - 5t + 2t - 10 = 0\\\\\\t(t - 5) + 2(t - 5) = 0\\\\\\(t + 2)(t - 5) = 0\\\\\\=> t = -2, 5

Since time cannot be negative, time, t = 5 secs.

The object will hit the ground after 5 secs.

Answer:

Therefore 'x' is equal to 65.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC

∠ B = 90°

AC = Hypotenuse = 12

CB = Adjacent Side = 5

To Find:

∠ C = x

Solution:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC Cosine Identity we have

\cos C = \frac{\textrm{side adjacent to angle C}}{Hypotenuse}\\

Substituting the values we get

\cos C = \dfrac{CB}{AC}=\dfrac{5}{12}

\angle C = \cos^{-1}(0.4166)=65.37=65.4\°

Therefore 'x' is equal to 65.4°
