ruto is 12 years old.in three years time he will be ⅓ of his father present age.how old was his father 12 years ago
1 answer:
Answer: 33
Explanation:
12+3=15, so in 3 years time Ruto will be 15.
Because 15 is said to be 1/3 times his fathers present age (x), you can plug that into an equation.
15=1/3(x)
Then solve the equation.
(3)15=[1/3(x)]•3
45=x
His father is currently 45, so if you subtract 12 from that, you get 33.
Ruto’s father was 33 years old 12 years ago.

The food package will strike the ground at 11 degrees below the horizontal.
<h3>Time for the food package to hit the ground</h3>The time for the food package to hit the ground is calculated as follows;
h = vt + ¹/₂gt²
<em>let the initial velocity be horizontal</em>
4900 = 0(t) + (0.5 x 9.8)t²
4900 = 4.9t²
t² = 4900/4.9
t² = 1,000
t = √1,000
t = 31.62 s
<h3> Final speed of the food package when it hits ground</h3>vf(y) = vo + gt
vf(y) = 0 + (31.62 x 9.8)
vf(y) = 309.88 m/s
<h3>Angle of projection</h3>The horizontal component of the speed will be constant, while vertical component will change
Angle below the horizontal = 90 - 79 = 11⁰
Thus, the food package will strike the ground at 11 degrees below the horizontal.
