- Sarah ran the 300-m hurdles in 47.7 sec. In meters per second, find the rate at which Sarah ran. Give the answer to the nearest tenth of a meter per second.arrow_forwardThe skid marks of a vehicle involved in an accident were 122 feet long. Use the formula s=24d to find the speed of the vehicle before the brakes were applied. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.arrow_forwardA man throws a ball into the air with a velocity of 96 ft/s. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the height of the ball will be 48 feet. Round to the nearest tenth.arrow_forward

- You toss a ball into the air at. Heighr of 5 feet. The velocity of the ball was 30 feet per second. You catch the ball 6 feet from the ground. How long was the ball in the air?arrow_forwardSolve for t. (Round to 3 decimals) ONLY TYPE IN THE NUMBER! e3t = 900arrow_forwardPolice use the formula: v = /20L to estimate the speed of a car, v, in miles per hour, based on the length, L, in feet, of its skid marks when suddenly braking on a dry, asphalt road. At the scene of an accident, a police officer measures a car's skid marks to be 175 feet long. Approximately how fast was the car traveling? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) of a unit. Answer: The car was traveling at approximately | miles per hour.

- Janna wants to measure the height of a cliff. She finds that the shadow of the cliff is 39 meters. If Janna is 1.61 meters tall and her own shadow is measured as 2.08 meters, how many meters tall is the cliff? (Round your answer to two decimal places)arrow_forwardRandy wants to attach a 14 foot string of lights to the top of the 14 foot mast of his sailboat. How far from the base of the mast should he attach the end of the light string? Round your answer to two decimal places. X = 14 feet X 14 feet feet ہےarrow_forwardLaw Enforcement Police use the formula s = √24d to estimate the speed of a car sin miles-per-hour (mph), based on the distance d (in feet) of the skid marks when braking on dry, asphalt road. At the scene of an accident, a police officer estimated that the speed of the car was 85 mph. Use this information to determine the distance the skid marks were. Round your answer to the nearest foot.arrow_forward
