The nut lands first on gorund
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds
Given that,
A squirrel is 24 feet up in a tree and tosses a nut out of the tree with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second
<em><u>The nuts height, h, at time t seconds can be represented by the equation:</u></em>
time cannot be negative, so ignore t = -1
Thus the nut takes 1.5 seconds to reach ground
From given,
The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds
Therefore, the nut lands first on gorund
