Answer:
both fireworks will explode 4.5 seconds after Firework B launches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
speed of firework A, = 360 ft/s
speed of firework B, = 340 ft/s
If the two fireworks explodes at the same height, then the height attained by the two fireworks are equal.
let the distance traveled by each firework before explosion = d
Distance = speed x time
Distance A = Distance B
speed A x time = speed B x time
let the time both fireworks explodes after Firework B launches = t
() t = (
) t
360t = 340t
if firework B is launched 0.25 s before Firework A, for the time of the two fireworks to be equal since we are considering time (t) after 0.25 seconds, we will have;
360(t-0.25) = 340t
360t - 90 = 340t
360 t - 340 t = 90
20 t = 90
t = 90/20
t = 4.5 seconds
Therefore, both fireworks will explode 4.5 seconds after Firework B launches
