Question

7. For a dropped object, the function t(h)=√ h/16 can be used to find the distance, h, in feet,

that the object has fallen after a time, t, in seconds. How far has the object fallen after 1.6
seconds?

Answer 1

Answer: To find the distance fallen after 1.6 seconds, we simply plug this value into the function and solve for h:

h = t^2 * 16

h = 1.6^2 * 16

h = 2.56 * 16

h = 40.96 feet

So, the object has fallen 40.96 feet after 1.6 seconds.
