Answer

$0.872\sec $

Work Step by Step

Familiarize- According to the provided statement, $V=48{{T}^{2}}$ Translate- Substitute the value $V=36.5$ in the provided expression. $\begin{align} & V=48{{T}^{2}} \\ & 36.5=48{{T}^{2}} \end{align}$ Carry out- Solve for $T$, Divide by $\left( 48 \right)$ on both sides, $\begin{align} & 36.5=48{{T}^{2}} \\ & \frac{36.5}{48}=\frac{48{{T}^{2}}}{48} \\ & \frac{36.5}{48}={{T}^{2}} \end{align}$ Taking square roots on both sides, $\begin{align} & \frac{36.5}{48}={{T}^{2}} \\ & \sqrt{\frac{36.5}{48}}=\sqrt{{{T}^{2}}} \\ & 0.872=T \end{align}$ Thus, the hang time is $0.872\sec $.
