The function y = -16t+^2 40 represents the height y (in feet) of a water droplet t seconds after falling from an icicle. After how many seconds does the water droplet hit the ground? Round your answer to two decimal places. ​

The water droplet will hit the ground 1.58 seconds after it started falling.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function:

y = -16*t^2 + 40

represents the height of a water droplet t seconds after falling from an icicle.

We want to find the value of t such that the water droplet hits the ground, and this will happen when y = 0.

Then we only need to solve the equation:

0 = y =  -16*t^2 + 40

0 =  -16*t^2 + 40

16*t^2 = 40

t^2 = 40/16

t = √(40/16) = 1.58

The water droplet will hit the ground 1.58 seconds after it started falling.

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
