Concept explainers

Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Chapter 9.4, Problem 51E

Solve each problem. See Examples 1–7.

For a body falling freely from rest (disregarding air resistance), the distance the body falls varies directly as the square of the time. If an object is dropped from the top of a tower 576 ft high and hits the ground in 6 sec, how far did it fall in the first 4 sec?

Students have asked these similar questions
(a) During a mock examination at a Senior High School in Ghana, there was a core mathematics question that read “The area of an umbrella varies directly as the square of its radius. If the radius of the umbrella is doubled, how much will be the area of the umbrella?” How will you guide SHS learners in your class to solve the variation problem?
Solve each of the following problems. The distance that a freely falling body falls varies directly as the square of the time it falls. If a body falls 144 feet in 3 seconds, how far will it fall in 5 seconds?
The distance s that an object falls varies directly with the square of the time, t, of the fall. If an object falls 16 feet in one second, how long will it take for it to fall 48 feet?   Round your answer to two decimal places.
