Algebra.Com's Answer #801808 by CubeyThePenguin(3113) You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) max height reached at -b/2a\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "h(t) = -16t^2 + 1600t\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-b/2a = 1600/32 = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) We want the solutions to -16t^2 + 1600t = 0.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = 0 or t = 100. Time can't be zero or negative, so the bullet reaches the ground after 100 seconds. \n" ); document.write( " |
