Answer:
8 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
h = - 5t² + 40t
When the object hits the ground then h = 0
Substitute h = 0 into the function and solve for t
- 5t² + 40t = 0 ← factor out - 5t from each term
- 5t(t - 8) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for t
- 5t = 0 ⇒ t = 0
t - 8 = 0 ⇒ t = 8
t= 0 denotes the time of launch
t = 8 denotes the time it hits the ground
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
There is a typo in the question, the lengths of the sides of the prism are:
24 cm
9 cm
17 cm
(otherwise, if all sides were 9 cm, it would be a cube, not a prism)
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

where:
l is the length of the prism
w is the width of the prism
h is the height prism
In this problem,
 (length)
 (length)
 (width)
 (width)
 (height)
 (height)
Therefore, the volume of the prism is:

From the given question we come to know of certain number of facts and they are:
At 1:00 PM the water level of the pond was = 13 inches
At 1:30 PM the water level of the pond was = 18 inches
At 2:30 PM the water level of the pond was = 28 inches
From the above given facts we can easily find the amount of water changing every half an hour.
Amount of increase in water from 1:00PM to 1:30 PM = (18 - 13) inches
                                                                                       = 5 inches
Amount of increase in water level from 1:30PM to 2:30PM = (28 -18) inches
                                                                                             = 10 inches
From the above two deductions we can come to the conclusion the the constant rate of change in water level is 5 inches for every half an hour.
