Direction For Question : (126-127)

An earthquake emits a primary wave and a secondary
wave. Near the surface of the Earth the primary wave
travels at about 5 miles per second and the secondary
wave at about 3 miles per second. From the time lag
between the two waves arriving at a given receiving
station, it is possible to estimate the distance to the
quake. (The epicenter can be located by obtaining
distance bearings at three or more stations.) Suppose
a station measured a time difference of 16 seconds
between the arrival of the two waves.

An object dropped off the top of Leaning Tower of

Pisa falls vertically with constant acceleration. If s
is the distance of the object above the ground (in
feet) t seconds after its release, then s and t are
related by an equation of the form s = a + bt2 where
a and b are constants. Suppose the object is 180
feet above the ground 1 second after its release and
