A football is thrown from the top of the stands, 50 feet above the ground at an initial velocity of 62 ft/sec and at an angle of

elevation of 45 degrees.
a.) Write a set of parametric equations that model the football's horizontal and vertical movement.

b.) The football reaches its maximum height at t=1.37 seconds. Using your parametric equations from part "a", determine the location of the football at its maximum height relative to the starting point.

a. i. The parametric equation for the horizontal movement is x = 43.84t

ii. The parametric equation for the vertical movement is y = 50 + 43.84t

b. the location of the football at its maximum height relative to the starting point is (60.1 ft, 60.1 ft)

<h2>a. Parametric equations</h2>

A parametric equation is an equation that defines a set of quantities a functions of one or more independent variables called parameters.

<h3>i. Parametric equation for the horizontal movement</h3>

The parametric equation for the horizontal movement is x = 43.84t

Since

  • the angle of elevation is Ф = 45° and
  • the initial velocity, v = 62 ft/s,

the horizontal component of the velocity is v' = vcosФ.

So, the horizontal distance the football moves in time, t is x = vcosФt

= vtcosФ

= 62tcos45°

= 62t × 0.7071

= 43.84t

So, the parametric equation for the horizontal movement is x = 43.84t

<h3>ii Parametric equation for the vertical movement</h3>

The parametric equation for the vertical movement is y = 50 + 43.84t

Also, since

  • the angle of elevation is Ф = 45° and
  • the initial velocity, v = 62 ft/s,

the vertical component of the velocity is v" = vsinФ.

Since the football is initially at a height of h = 50 feet, the vertical distance the football moves in time, t relative to the ground is y = 50 + vsinФt

= 50 + vtcosФ

= 50 + 62tsin45°

= 50 + 62t × 0.7071

= 50 + 43.84t

<h3>b. Location of football at maximum height relative to starting point</h3>

The location of the football at its maximum height relative to the starting point is (60.1 ft, 60.1 ft)

Since the football reaches maximum height at t = 1.37 s

The x coordinate of its location at maximum height is gotten by substituting t = 1.37 into x = 48.84t

So, x = 43.84t

x = 43.84 × 1.37

x = 60.0608

x ≅ 60.1 ft

The y coordinate of the football's location at maximum height relative to the ground is y = 50 + 48.84t

The y coordinate of the football's location at maximum height relative to the starting point is y - 50 = 48.84t

So,  y - 50 = 48.84t

y - 50 = 43.84 × 1.37

y - 50 = 60.0608

y - 50 ≅ 60.1 ft

So, the location of the football at its maximum height relative to the starting point is (60.1 ft, 60.1 ft)

Cindy plans to shop for her school supplies and wants to know how much money she would need to spend. from her friend she knows
vlabodo [156]

Let the cost of 1 notebook be x and the cost of 1 binder be y.

4 notebooks and 3 binders would cost 23.5

Therefore, 4x + 3y = 23.5     (1)

7 notebooks and 6 binders would cost 44.5

Therefore, 7x + 6y = 44.5     (2)

Multiply the first equation by 2.

8x + 6y = 47     (3)

(3) - (2) gives

x = 2.5

Substitute the value of x in (1), we get,

4(2.5) + 3y = 23.5

10 + 3y = 23.5

3y = 23.5 - 10

3y = 13.5

y = 13.5/3

y = 4.5

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is:

5x + 3y = 5(2.5) + 3(4.5)

           = 12.5 + 13.5

           = 26

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is $26.

A study of the amount of time it takes a mechanic to rebuild the transmission for a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier shows that the mean
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The probability is 0.0069

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do here is to calculate the z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD/√(n)

where x = 9.1 , mean = 8.4 , SD = 1.8 and n = 40

Plugging these values into the z-score equation, we have;

z-score = (9.1-8.4)/1.8/√(40) = 0.7/1.8/6.325 = 0.0615

Now, we check the standard normal table for P(z > 2.46) = 0.0069

Which expression lists the three consecutive integers starting with a number x? A. x, x + 2, x + 4 B. x + 1, x, x + 2 C. x – 1,
Vika [28.1K]

Consecutive integers are like 1, 2, and 3. They are in a row. Think about plugging numbers in for x. 1 and 1+2 are not consecutive, so A is not the answer. B and C don't start with x, so they aren't the answer. That leaves D, because it starts with x, then goes to x+1, and then to x+2. These are consecutive, because if x was 1, it would be 1, 2, 3.

The answer is D.

I hope this helps :)
