The formula is x = 1/2 at^2 and I have managed to fill in the variables as this. d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 1^2

Artyom0805 [142]

Right, as you mentioned in the comments, you find $d$ by plugging in the different values of $t$ .

For $t=1\,\mathrm s$ , we have

$d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1\,\mathrm s)^2$

$d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(1\,\mathrm s^2\right)$

$d=4.905\,\mathrm m$

Similarly, for $t=2\,\mathrm s$ , you get

$d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(2\,\mathrm s\right)$

$d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(4\,\mathrm s^2\right)$

$d=19.62\,\mathrm m$

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$y = 17.04 ft$

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

$y = 180 ft$

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

$x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft$

now from the equation of parabola we have

$y = k x^2$

$180 = k(650^2)$

$k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}$

now we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2$

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)$

$y = 17.04 ft$
