An object is dropped from a bridge. Find the distance the object has fallen when the speed reaches 60ft/s. Use the equation v=square root 64d, where v is the speed in feet per second and d is the distance in feet
so, did you plug your number into the formula?
To find the distance the object has fallen when the speed reaches 60 ft/s, we can use the given equation v = √64d, where v represents the speed in feet per second and d represents the distance in feet.
To begin, we'll substitute v = 60 ft/s into the equation:
60 = √64d
Now, let's square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:
(60)^2 = (√64d)^2
Simplifying further, we have:
3600 = 64d
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 64 in order to isolate d:
3600 / 64 = 64d / 64
Simplifying further:
56.25 = d
Therefore, when the object's speed reaches 60 ft/s, it would have fallen a distance of 56.25 feet.
