A rock is dropped from a height of 100 feet. Calculate the time between when the rock was dropped and when it landed. If we choo

se "down" as positive and ignore air friction, the
function is h(t) = 16t^2 – 100.

A)t = 2.5 seconds

B)t = 6.25 seconds

C)t = 10 seconds

D)t = 12.5

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

the rock lands when it reaches height 0.

so, for what t is h(t) = 0 ?

16t² - 100 = 0

16t² = 100

now we pull the square root on both sides (we can ignore the negative solutions, as negative seconds don't make any sense in our scenario)

4t = 10

t = 10/4 = 5/2 = 2.5 seconds

so, A is correct.

The diameter of a circle is 20m <br> Find the circumference to the nearest tenth
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

C = 62.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference formula is C = πd.

Here d = 20 m.  Therefore, the circumference of this circle is C = (20 m)π.

To the nearest 10th, we round off C = (20 m)(3.14159) = C = 62.8 m

Deon drove 16 miles which is one fourth of the way home what’s the total length of the drive
svetlana [45]
64 miles

If 16 is 1/4 of the total distance, then x (the total distance) will be 4/4. To get 1/4 to equal 4/4, you multiply it by 4. Therefore you can multiply 16 by 4 to get 64 as the answer.
