Consider the distance formula d=16t^2 where d is the distance in feet that an object travels and t is the time in seconds that it travels. How long does it take an object to travel 624 feet?
To find the time it takes an object to travel 624 feet using the distance formula d = 16t^2, you need to substitute d with 624 and solve for t:
624 = 16t^2
First, divide both sides of the equation by 16:
624 / 16 = 16t^2 / 16
39 = t^2
Now, take the square root of both sides to solve for t:
√39 = √t^2
t ≈ 6.245
Therefore, it takes approximately 6.245 seconds for the object to travel 624 feet.
