Answer:
- Josh's book lands first
- Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...
h(t) = -16t² +60t +40
We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....
0 = -16t² +60t +40
Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...
t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277
__
Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...
0 = -16t² +48t +40
t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794
__
The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...
4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds
Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you think about how it works when cups are stacked. you will begin with the height of the cup plus the height of the lip you would then add just the heigt of the lips until you get to the height needed. so your answer should be 19 cups
