Question 18 of 30Use the formula below to solve the given problem. In the formula, drepresents the distance an object falls, in meters, and trepresents the timethat an object falls, in seconds. Round to the nearest tenth and do not includeunits in your answer.A screw from the space shuttle in outer space falls from the space shuttle.How far would the screw fall in 11 seconds?ſa=t•2.8Answer here

Answer 1

We were asked to find how far the screw will fall in 11 seconds.

How far simply means the distance. So we will find the distance using the formula they gave to us.

`\begin{gathered} So\text{ from the formula }\sqrt[]{d}\text{ = t . 2.8, } \\ \sqrt[]{d}\text{ = t }*\text{2.8, d = distance that we want to find, t = time = 11seconds} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{d\text{ }}\text{ = 2.8t, when we multiply t by 2.8 } \\ \text{Now, we will take the square of both sides to remove the }\sqrt[]{\text{ }}\text{ } \\ (\sqrt[]{d})^2=(2.8t)^2 \\ d=(2.8*11)^2 \\ d=30.8^2 \\ d\text{ = 948.64} \\ d\text{ = 948.6 to the nearest tenth} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is 948.6 to the nearest tenth
