SOLUTION: use 4.9t^2 + vot = s a coin is tossed downward with an initial velocity of 30 meters per second(v0)at an altitude of 402 meters(s). approximetly how long does it take the coin

Question 234421: use 4.9t^2 + vot = s

a coin is tossed downward with an initial velocity of 30 meters per second(v0)at an altitude of 402 meters(s). approximetly how long does it take the coin to reach the ground?

use 4.9t^2 + vot = s
a coin is tossed downward with an initial velocity of 30 meters per second(v0)at an altitude of 402 meters(s). approximately how long does it take the coin to reach the ground?
-------------------------
-4.9t^2-30t = -402 meters
--------------------------------
4.9t^2 + 30t -402 = 0
---------------
Use Quadratic formula:
t = [-30 +- sqrt(900 - 4*4.9*-402)]/(9.8)
---
t = [-30 +- sqrt(8779.2)]/9.8
Positive solution:
t = [-30+93.7]/9.2
t = 6.924 seconds
