Question

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 544 feet?

A . √34
B. 34
C. √136
D. 136

Answer 1

`√(34)` is the time required to travel 544 feet.

Explanation:

According to question, the distance formula is given as follows:

`d=16t^(2)`

where d is the distance in feet that an object travels and t is the time in seconds that the object travels.

So, if an object travels 544 feet that means d= 544 feet.

Substituting value of
`d=544 feet` into the equation,

`544=16t^(2)`

`544/16=t^(2)`

`34=t^(2)`

`√(34)=t` which is the required answer
