(b) Find how long it takes the ball to fall 36 feet. (Hint: first find its

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Known facts:

  • the ball dropped from a height of 64 feet
  • function h(t) = -16t^{2}  + 64

First question:

  • the ball hits the ground when h(t) = 0, thus we get the equation

                      -16t^{2} +64 = 0\\16t^{2} = 64\\t^{2} =4\\t = 2

     So the ball hits the ground in 2s

Second question

  • to find how long it takes the ball to fall 36 feet, we must set h(t) = 64 - 36 = 28

                      -16t^{2} +64 = 28\\16t^{2} = 36\\t = \frac{6}{4} =1.5s

      So the ball hits the ground in 1.5s

Hope that helps!

2. If you used the 23 cm basketball as your Moon sphere, how big
castortr0y [4]

Ok so I heard this question a few times already and couldn't remember how it went so I decided to put my brain to the test, I used my algebra to use and complete it.

If the Earth were shrunk down to the size of a basketball (radius:4.69 inches) the Moon would be a tennis ball (radius: 1.2768 inches, to be exact) 23.5 feet away.

The Sun would be a 42.6-foot sphere (source) located 1.7 miles away.

The closest star, Proxima Centauri, would still be 463,151 miles away – almost twice the distance of the actual moon."
