Answer:

The equation for the height of the penny in function of time is:

h(t)=1451-16t^2

After 7 seconds, the penny will be at a height of 667 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The penny will have a free fall.

The initial velocity is zero, and the initial height is h(0)=1,451.

The acceleration will be the gravity, that has a value g=32 ft/s^2.

Then, we can model this starting by the speed:

dv/dt=-g\\\\v(t)=v_0-gt=-gt

Then, the height becomes:

dh/dt=v(t)=-gt\\\\h(t)=h_0-\dfrac{gt^2}{2}=1451-\dfrac{32}{2}t^2\\\\\\h(t)=1451-16t^2

The approximate height of the penny after 7 seconds can be calculated as:

h(7)=1451-16(7^2)=1451-16*49=1451-784=667

After 7 seconds, the penny will be at a height of 667 feet.

Solving Equations 3k+10=2k-21
Nikolay [14]

3k+10=2k-21

move 2k to the other side

sign changes from +2k to -2k

3k-2k+10=2k-2k-21( combine like terms)

3k-2k+10= -21

k+10=-21

move +10 to the other side

k+10-10= -21-10

k= -21-10

answer:

k= -31

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 14 centimeters long. One of the legs of the triangle is 6 centimeters. What is the length
BartSMP [9]

Answer: 12.65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2= c^2

You are given the hypotenuse , which is c and another leg which is either a or b, does not particularly matter- rearrange to find the missing length

c^2 - b^2 = a^2

14^2 - 6^2 = 160

Square root 160 to find the missing length

12.65

Hope this helped :)
