A sandbag is released from a hot air balloon that is 400ft above the ground. Using the falling object model, h = –16t2 + s, where h = height in feet, t = time in seconds, and s = initial height in feet, how long will it take for the sandbag to hit the ground?A.
25 seconds
B.
4 seconds
C.
5 seconds
D.
20 seconds

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

It takes 5 seconds for the sandbag to hit the ground

Explanation:

Given:

Height at which the sand bag is released from the hot air balloon $= -400 f t$

To find:

Time taken for the sandbag to hit the ground, t =?

Solution:

The initial height =s

Initially the height will be 0

Hence $s=0$

the falling object model equation

$h=-16 t^(2)+s$

Substituting the values we get,

$h=-16 t^(2)+s$

$400=16 t^(2)$

$t^(2)=(400)/(16)$

$t^(2)=25$

$t=√(25)$

$t=5 \text { seconds }$

Result:

Thus it takes 5 seconds for the sandbag to hit the ground

Answers

Answer:

Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis. During the process of photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air. People and animals need oxygen to breathe

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the process of photosynthesis. Carbon Dioxide and water enter the plant, and Glucose, energy (ATP), and oxygen are produced. The equation is:

6CO2+6H2O--------->C6H12O6 + 6O2

At one store Julia save $10 with the coupon for 20% off her total purchase at another store the $24 she spent on books is 40% of her total bill how much did Julia spend it all at the two stores

Answers

At the first store, Julia spent 50 dollars. Since 20 percent is 100 divided by 5, you multiply the 10 dollars by 5 to get 50 dollars.

At the second store, Julia spent. Since 12 dollars is 20 percent, multiply 12 dollars by 5 to get 60 dollars.

50+60= 110. Julia spent 110 dollars altogether.
