Question

A box is tossed upward from a cliff that is 6 meters high, at a speed of 10 meters per second. What is the height of the box at 1 second? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Answer 1

Answer:

$16\text{ meters}$

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the height of the box after 1 second

To get this, we have to multiply the time (1 second) by the speed and add to the initial height

Mathematically, we have that as:

$\begin{gathered} h_1=h_0\text{ + st} \\ h_1\text{ = final height which is unknown} \\ h_0\text{ = initial height = 6 m} \\ s\text{ = sp}eed\text{ = 10 m/s} \\ t\text{ is time = 1 second} \\ \text{Substituting the values} \\ h_1=\text{ 6 + 10(1)} \\ h_1\text{ = 6 + 10 = 16 m} \end{gathered}$
