30) When an object is dropped to the ground from a height of h meters, the time it takes for the object to reach the
h
ground is given by the equation t = , where t is measured in seconds. If an object falls 19.6 meters before it

hits the ground, find the time it took for the object to fall.
A) 2 seconds B) 5 seconds C) 3 seconds D) 4 seconds
31) If the three lengths of the sides of a triangle are known, Heronʹs formula can be used to find its area. If a, b, and
c are the three lengths of the sides, Heronʹs formula for area is:
A = s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)
1
where s is half the perimeter of the triangle, or s = (a + b + c).
2
Use this formula to find the area of the triangle if a = 7 cm, b = 9 cm and c = 14 cm.
Solve the problem.
32) A formula used to determine the velocity v in feet per second of an object (neglecting air resistance) after it has
fallen a certain height is v = 2gh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height the object has
fallen. If the acceleration g due to gravity on Earth is approximately 32 feet per second, find the velocity of a
bowling ball after it has fallen 30 feet. (Round to the nearest tenth.)
A) 1920 ft per sec B) 31.0 ft per sec C) 7.7 ft per sec D) 43.8 ft per sec
