In foolish celebration, a person illegally fires a pistol straight up into the air. The bullet velocity leaving the gun (a. k.a. muzzle velocity) is 360 meters per second. Neglecting air resistance, what height (in meters) will it reach? Your answer should be reported to the appropriate number of significant figures. *

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.
