AN Astronaut standing on the surface of the moon throws a rock into the air with and initial velocity of 27 feet per second.
the astronaut hand is 6 feet above the surface of the moon.
The height of the rock is given by h= -2.7f2+27t+6.
How many seconds was the rock in the air?
:
When the rock strikes the ground, h=0
-2.7t^2 + 27t + 6 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to find t,
where a=-2.7, b=27, c=6
t =
do the math, I got a positive solution of t=10.275 sec, see what you get.
