begin mathsize 12px style Given space that space straight s space equals space 80 space straight m space straight a space equals space straight g space equals space minus 10 space straight m divided by straight s Using space the space equation space straight s space equals space ut space plus 1 half at squared space comma space we space have rightwards arrow space 80 space equals space ut space plus space space 1 half space cross times space open parentheses negative 10 close parentheses space straight t squared rightwards arrow space 80 space equals space ut space minus space 5 straight t squared or space rightwards arrow space 5 straight t squared space minus space ut space plus space 80 space equals space 0 Solving space the space quadratic space equation comma space we space get straight t space equals space fraction numerator straight u space plus space square root of straight u squared minus 1600 end root over denominator 10 end fraction space and space space fraction numerator straight u space minus space square root of straight u squared minus 1600 end root over denominator 10 end fraction Now space it space is space given space that space fraction numerator straight u space plus space square root of straight u squared minus 1600 end root over denominator 10 end fraction space minus space space fraction numerator straight u space minus space square root of straight u squared minus 1600 end root over denominator 10 end fraction space equals space 6 or space fraction numerator space square root of straight u squared minus 1600 end root over denominator 5 end fraction space equals space 6 rightwards arrow space square root of straight u squared minus 1600 end root space equals space 30 rightwards arrow space straight u squared minus 1600 space equals space 900 rightwards arrow space straight u squared space equals space 2500 rightwards arrow space straight u space equals space plus-or-minus space 50 straight m divided by straight s Here space we space ignore space the space negative space signand space get straight u space equals space 50 space straight m divided by straight s end style
