The function relating the height of an object off the ground to the time spent falling is a quadratic relationship. travis drops a tennis ball from the top of an office building 90 meters tall. three seconds later, the ball lands on the ground. after 2 seconds, how far is the ball off the ground? 30 meters 40 meters 50 meters 60 meters

Answer is 50 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Height of the building (h)= 90 meters.

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground (t) = 3 seconds

According to the statement;

h = kt²

90=k(3)²

90=k(9)

90=9k

Divide both the sides by 9

k=10

h=kt²

Put the value time (t)=2 in the equation

h=10(2)²

h=10(4)

h=40 meters

Distance from the ground = 90 - 40

=50 meters.

Thus the correct option is 50 meters

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
