Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so the question is asking about the time from 1500 feet to 1100 feet. How long did they fall, w/o a parachute. aka "freefall" so, at 1500 feet the jumper is really at time zero. so, plug in to the formula
1100 = -16 +1500
( x represents seconds so i'll change it to t so we know it's time )
1100 = -16 + 1500
now we can solve for t , to see how long the jumper falls
-400 = - 16 ( subtracting 1500 from both sides of equation )
25 = ( dividing both sides by -16 )
oh.. look at how nice that turns out.. :)
= t ( take the square root on both sides )
5 = t
the jumper fell for 5 seconds to get to 1100 feet
Answer:
A)
Each landing is about 17 inches.
B)
The vertical rise from Floor 1 to Floor 2 is about 7 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the attachment below. (I accidentally wrote 30.30 instead of 30.20. Please ignore that and sorry for any confusion.)
Part A)
So, we want to find the length of .
Note that the angle of elevation, the vertical height, and form a right triangle.
Since the vertical height opposite to our angle is 10, and we want to find the adjacent height, we can use the tangent ratio:
Therefore:
Solve for . Cross-multiply:
So:
The landing space per step is about 17 inches.
Part B)
We know that there are a total of 12 feet of horizontal space total for each landing.
12 feet is equivalent to (12)(12) = 144 inches.
Since each landing is 17.1817... inches, this means that we have 144/(17.1817...) = 8.38... or about 8 steps.
Since the vertical rise of each step is 10 inches, the vertical rise from the 1st Floor to the second will be 8(10) or 80 inches or 80/12 = 6.666... or about 7 feet.
