An object is launched upward

Mathematics

Burka [1]3 years ago

Check the picture below.  The picture is using feet, but is pretty much the same trajectory for meters.

so the object hits the ground when y = 0, thus

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} ~~~~~~\textit{in meters} \\\\ h(t) = -4.9t^2+v_ot+h_o \end{array} \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\stackrel{12}{\textit{initial velocity of the object}}\\\\ h_o=\stackrel{62.5}{\textit{initial height of the object}}\\\\ h=\stackrel{}{\textit{height of the object at "t" seconds}} \end{cases} \\\\\\ h(t)=-4.9t^2+12t+62.5\implies \stackrel{\textit{hitting the ground}}{\stackrel{h(t)}{0}=-4.9t^2+12t+62.5}

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{using the quadratic formula} \\\\ h(t)=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-4.9}t^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+12}t\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+62.5} \qquad \qquad t= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a} \\\\\\ t=\cfrac{-12\pm\sqrt{12^2-4(-4.9)(62.5)}}{2(-4.9)}\implies t=\cfrac{-12\pm\sqrt{144+1225}}{-9.8} \\\\\\ t=\cfrac{12\mp\sqrt{1369}}{9.8}\implies t=\cfrac{12\mp 37}{9.8}\implies t= \begin{cases} \stackrel{\approx}{-2.55}\\ 5 \end{cases}

we can't use -2.55, since it's seconds and can't be negative, so t = 5 seconds later.

Amanda worked the entire summer before her freshman year of college. She saved $2000. She withdraws $150 per week for expenses.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

12 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda starts with $2000 and is getting $150 per week which means that we can make the expression:

2000-150n=200

The expression is equal to 200 because is the limit where we can arrive to avoid the fee, then the n is the number of weeks that we are looking for:

150n=2000-200\\n=\frac{1800}{200}\\n=12

n=12 weeks

Harry earns an hourly rate of $15. For each additional hour over 40 hours, he earns 150% percent of his regular hourly rate. Las
Yuri [45]

Answer:

51 hours

$15 x 40 = $600

$15 x 1.50 = $22.5

$22.5 x 11 = $247.5

$600 + $247.5 = $847.5

40 + 11 = 51 hours

PLEASE HELP! 10 Points!!
solong [7]

Answer:

38 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the degrees in a triangle add up to 180, all you need to do is to find the other 2 angles in the triangle and subtract their sum from 180. Since you have the exterior angles, you can just find their supplements to get the two missing angles.

180-134=46

180-84=96

180-(46+96)=38
