Answer:

<em>3 seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question:

<em>An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled using h(t)=144-16t2. How many seconds will it take the object to reach the ground? 2 seconds 3 seconds 9 seconds 16 seconds</em>

<em></em>

Given the height of an object modelled by the expression;

<em>h(t)=144-16t²</em>

The object will reach the ground when h(t) = 0

Substitute into the formula

0 = 144 - 16t²

-144 = -16t²

144 = 16t²

Swap

16t² = 144

t² = 144/16

t² = 9

Square root both sides

√t² = ±√9

t = ±3secs

<em>Since the time cannot be negative, hence the object will reach the ground 3 seconds after</em>

You are getting ready for a family vacation. you decide to download as many movies as possible before leaving for the road trip.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Here is the solution for the given problem above.
Given: 1 2/5 hour = time it takes to download a movie
            5 1/4 hours = total hours for the download
            ? = number of movies downloaded
First, we need to simplify 1 and 2/5 hour, which is 1.4 hour, and 5 1/4 is 5.25 hours. Next, to get the number of movies downloaded, we divide 5.25 by 1.4 and the result is 3.75. Round this off to a whole number and we  get 4. Approximately, you were able to download 4 MOVIES. Hope this helps.
