Question:

A minivan is traveling at 80.5 kilometers per hour. Cargo is strapped to the roof at a height of 1.75 meters. The car hits a concrete barrier, and the cargo is ejected from the roof. Use the following two equations to determine how long it takes for the cargo to hit the ground and how far it travels in the horizontal direction. Let y represent height in meters, x represent horizontal distance in meters, and t represent time in seconds.
Equation 1: y = – 4.9t+ 1.75
Equation 2: y = – 0.0081x2 + 1.75
