Ted throws an object into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 54 feet per second from a platform that is 40 feet above the ground. About how long will it take the object to hit the ground?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The height of the object as a function of time is given by:

$h(t) = -16t^2+vt+h$ .....[1]

where,

h(t) is the height of the object t second after it is thrown.

v is the initial velocity

h is the initial height.

As per the statement:

Ted throws an object into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 54 feet per second from a platform that is 40 feet above the ground

⇒v = 54 ft/sec and h = 40 feet above the ground.

Substitute in [1] we have;

$h(t) = -16t^2+54t+40$

we have to find how long will it take the object to hit the ground.

Substitute h(t) = 0

then;

$-16t^2+54t+40 = 0$

⇒ $-8t^2+27t+20=0$

Factorize this equation:

$-8t^2+32t-5t+20=0$

⇒ $-8t(t-4)-5(t-4)=0$

⇒ $(t-4)(-8t-5)=0$

By zero product property we have;

t-4 = 0 and -8t-5 = 0

⇒t = 4 and -8t = 5

⇒ t= 4 and t = - 0.625

Since, time cannot be in negative;

⇒ t= 4 sec

therefore, 4 seconds will it take the object to hit the ground

Answer 2

Answer:
PERFECT application of the general equation of things
that are moving up and down in gravity:

   H(t) = H₀ + v₀t + 1/2 g t²

t = time after the toss
H(t) = height at any time after the toss
H₀ = height from which it's tossed
v₀ = initial speed
g = acceleration of gravity

I'm going to call 'UP' = the positive direction .
So ...

H₀ = +40 ft
v₀ = +54 ft/sec
g = -32 ft/sec²

When the object hits the ground, H(t) = 0 .
So you have ...

   0 = 40 + 54 t - 16 t²

Let me re-write that for you, to make it a
little easier and more familiar:

      - 16 t² + 54 t + 40 = 0

Divide each side by -2 :    8 t²   - 27 t - 20 = 0

Now go to your toolbox, pull out your quadratic formula,
solve that quadratic equation, and you'll get the usual two
solutions.

The positive one is the one you want.

The negative one refers to time before the toss, and may be discarded.

The GDP is $123.7 billion. The population is 4 million. Find the per capita GDP.

Answers

Answer:

The per capita GDP is 30.925.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

$\text{Per capita GDP}=\frac{\text{Real GDP}}{\text{Population}}$

Here,

The real G.D.P. = $123.7 billion = $ 123700 million

( 1 Billion = 1000 Million ),

Also, Population = 4 million,

By Substituting the values in the above formula,

$\text{Per capita GDP}=(123700)/(4)=30925= 30.925$

(123.7*10^9)/(4*10^6)=$30,925

Which of the following options best describes the function graphed below?A graph shows a slanting straight line that starts at the origin and goes up.
Nonlinear increasing Nonlinear decreasing Linear increasing Linear decreasing I believe the answer is C. but I also think its D but I'm seriously stuck

Answers

Answer:

The graph of the function is:

Linear increasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a graph such that it is a slanting straight line.

This means that the relationship is linear.

Also the graph starts at origin and goes up.

This means that the graph of the function is continuously increasing.

Hence, the option that best describes the function graphed is:

Linear increasing.

It is going to be : Linear increasing (C)
