2. A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 80 meters per second. How many
seconds will it take for the flare to return to the sea?
Solution :
If an object is launched into the air, the height above the ground after t seconds is given by the formula
= 16 2
The variable h represents the height of the flare when it returns to the sea, thus = 0
= 80
Substituting the given data in the formula,
= 16 2
0 = 80 16 2
0 = 16(5 )
Solving for t,
(16 = 0)|(5 = 0)
( = 0)|( = 5)
The flare returns to the sea in 5 seconds.
3. Find the number of days 10 workers can complete a job if 5 workers can complete the same job
in 7 days.
Solution: The number of days a certain job (y) can be completed varies inversely as the
number of workers (x) assigned to do the job.
Assuming that each work at the same rate, then = = .
