Answer:

The time it takes for the stone to reach the ground is 3.94 s. This answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe there's a mistake in the equation shown, the acceleration (number that multiplies t²) should be negative, since the stone is falling, therefore I'll answer assuming it's -16 instead of 16, otherwise there would be no real solution to the equation.

In order to calculate how long it'll take for the stone to hit the ground we must make f(t) = 0 and find the time "t" that makes the equation valid, so we have:

f(t) = -16t² + 248 = 0

-16t² = -248

t² = -248/(-16) = 15.5

t = sqrt(15.5) = 3.94

While passing a slower car on the highway, i accelerate uniformly from 12 m/s to 24 m/s in a time of 10.0s. How far do you trave
Taya2010 [7]
You say that there is uniform acceleration so:

vf-vi=at  (final velocity minus initial velocity is equal to acceleration times time)

We know vf, vi, and t so we can solve for acceleration:

24-12=a10

12=10a

a=1.2

That is the acceleration, we will need to integrate with respect to time twice...

v=⌠a dt

v=at+vi  , we know a=1.2m/s^2 and vi=12m/s

v=1.2t+12, 

x=⌠1.2t+12 dt

x=1.2t^2/2+12t+xo, we can just let xo=0 for this problem...

x(t)=0.6t^2+12t

Now we know that this acceleration lasts for 10 seconds so the distance traveled in that time is:

x(10)=0.6(10^2)+12(10)

x(10)=60+120

x(10)=180 meters
