Read each problem carefully. Solve each quadratic equation for the variable(s) specified.
Be sure to show all of your work. Explain in two to three sentences what the meaning of
the solution(s) are in relation to the problem situation. A rubric has been provided for
reference.
1. An object is propelled off of a platform that is 75 feet high at a speed of 45 feet per
second (ft./s). The height of the object off the ground is given by the formula
h(t) = - 16t+45t+75, where h(t) is the object's height at time (t) seconds after the
-16
object is propelled. The downward negative pull on the object is represented by
Solve for t.
For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha,
Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE
alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting
nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by
O A. zero
O B. minus 1
OC. minus 2
O D. minus 3

All the photoelectrons that are produced from the light are presumed to be collected by another electrode and we determine the current in amperes using a circuit and an "ammeter", that is, some device that can give a precise quantitative measure of the current.
