I need help answering this quadratic word problem, thanks in advance At the national spitting competition, contestants were lined up on top of a tall building. The winning projectile was projected off the top of the building in a trajectory defined by the following equation where the height (h) is in metres above the ground and time (t) is in seconds since the projectile was launched. h=-4.9t^2+29.4t+37.9 Show all work when answering the following (no guess and check allowed): a) If the mouth of the person who launched the winning projectile was 1.6 metres above the roof of the building, how tall was the building? b) To the nearest tenth of a second, how long was the projectile in the air before it hit the ground? (Nearest tenth of a second = one decimal place) c) To the nearest tenth of a second, determine how long the projectile was at or above 80m in height.
Imagine that a car is traveling from your left to your right at a constant velocity. Which two actions could the driver take that may be represented as (a) a velocity vector and an acceleration vector both pointing to the right and then (b) changing so the velocity vector points to the right and the acceleration vector points to the left?
hi any chance you could solve d e f and g please, i would like to check my ansers so final answers will be fine and i will follow uop later if need be
Migrating geese tend to travel in straight-line paths at approximately constant speed. A goose flies 32 km south, then turns to fly 20 km west. How far is the goose from its original location? If we want the full displacement vector for this goose, what do we need to add? What is the displacement of the goose?

This is a symbolic version of Problem 29. A river has a steady speed of vs. A student swims upstream a distance d and back to the starting point. (a) If the student can swim at a speed of v in still water, how much time tup does it take the student to swim upstream a distance d? Express the answer in terms of d, v, and vs. (b) Using the same variables, how much time tdown does it take to swim back downstream to the starting point? (c) Sum the answers found in parts (a) and (b) and show that the time ta required for the whole trip can be written as ta=2d/v1-vs2/v2 (d) How much time tb does the trip take in still water? (e) Which is larger, ta or tb? Is it always larger?
1. A river has a steady speed of 1.5 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 500 m, and then turn around, swims a distance of 700 m downstream. If this student can swim 2.0 m/s in still water, how long does this whole trip (back and forth) take? (Hint: You need to find the resultant speed of the student for both upstream and downstream) (
