Answer: the height of the flagpole is 21 ft.
The cinematic equation is:
h (t) = (1/2) * a * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
Where,
a: acceleration
vo: initial speed
h0: initial height
Substituting values:
h (t) = (1/2) * (- 32) * t ^ 2 + (0) * t + 9
h (t) = - 16t ^ 2 + 9
For t = 0.2 we have:
h (0.2) = - 16 * (0.2) ^ 2 + 9
h (0.2) = 8.36 feet
To touch the ground we have:
-16t ^ 2 + 9 = 0
16t ^ 2 = 9
t = root (9/16)
t = 0.75 s
Answer:
The height of the cherry after 0.2 seconds is:
h (0.2) = 8.36 feet
the cherry hits the ground at:
t = 0.75 s
Answer:
3x - y = 8
y = 3x - 8
y = 3*2.5 - 8 = -0.5 --> (2.5, -0.5)
y = 3*5 - 8 = 7 --> (5, 7)
Answer C is correct.
