- An arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardCarol threw an eraser straight up in the air with a starting velocity of 12 m/sec and a starting height of 1 meter. a. How high was the eraser after 1 second? After 2 seconds? b. When did the eraser reach its maximum height? What was the maximum height?arrow_forward
