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 736 feet?
square root of 23
square root of 46
46 seconds
23 seconds
To find the time it takes for the object to travel 736 feet, we can rearrange the formula and solve for t:
d = 16t^2
736 = 16t^2
Divide both sides of the equation by 16:
736/16 = t^2
Simplify the left side:
46 = t^2
Take the square root of both sides to solve for t:
√46 = t
Therefore, the object takes approximately the square root of 46 seconds to travel 736 feet.
