Suppose a ball is dropped from some height and 2 seconds later another ball is dropped. Calculate the time required for the second ball to pass the first one.

It will never pass, because things fall at the same time, if there are no outside fource or other different like shape, gravity…

i believe the answer is a

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.
