When an object is thrown from a height of 20 meters with an initial speed of 20 meters per second, its height ℎ above the ground

(measured in meters) at any given time (measured in seconds) can be modeled by the quadratic equation: ℎ=−52+20+20 If it is known that the object will reach a maximum height of 40 meters, find the time at which this happens. The object will reach its maximum height of 40 meters at seconds. How long will it take for the object to hit the ground? The object will hit the ground at seconds.

Answer:

5.85 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation;

h = -5t² + vt + h

where;

v = initial upward velocity in meter per seconds

h = height above ground level when the object is thrown

t = time of flight in seconds

h = -5t² + 20t + 20

h = 0

⇒ -5t² + 20t + 20= 0

-t² + 5t + 5 = 0

t² - 5t - 5 = 0

a = 1

b = -5

c = -5

Using the quadratic formula:

\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

\dfrac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4(1)(-5)}}{2*1}

\dfrac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 +20}}{2}

\dfrac{5 \pm \sqrt{45}}{2}

\dfrac{5 \pm 6.7082}{2}

\dfrac{5 + 6.7082}{2} \ \  OR  \ \ \dfrac{5 - 6.7082}{2}

t = 5.8541    OR t =  -0.8541

Since t can only be positive; t ≅ 5.85 sec

Then;

After 5.85 seconds, the object will hit the ground.

Sandra notices a fourth racer called the Whirlwind. Its poster says it covers 1232 yards in 180 seconds. She wants to compare th
Daniel [21]

Answer:

6.8yards/seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance/Time

Given the following

Distance covered = 1232 yards

Time taken = 180 seconds

Substitute to get the speed

Speed  = 1232/180

Speed  = 6.84

Hence whirlwind's speed in yards per seconds to the nearest tenth is 6.8yards/seconds

Find the area and perimeter.<br> The area is ... and the perimeter is ...
Schach [20]

Answer:

Area: 6a^2

Perimeter: 12a^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, use the formula A=1/2 b*h. The base is 3a^2 and the height is 4a^2.

A= 1/2 (3a^2)(4a^2)

A = 1/2 (12a^4)

A = 6a^4

To find the perimeter of the triangle, add each of the sides of the triangle. The third side, the hypotenuse, can be found using Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2\\(3a^2)^2+(4a^2)^2 = c^2\\(9a^4)+(16a^4)=c^2\\25a^4=c^2\\5a^2=c

Now add each of the sides: 3a^2 + 4a^2 +5a^2 = 12a^2
