The sanitation department calculated that last year each city resident produced approximately 1.643 × 103 pounds of garbage. The

re are 2.61 × 105 people living in the city. How much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year?

Given that, according to sanitation departments report; the samount of garbage produced by 1 resident $= 1.643 \times 10^3$ pound.

Given that population of the city $= 2.61 \times 10^5$

Now we have to find how much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year.

To find that we just need to multiply the garbage produced by 1 resident with the population of the city.

Total garbage collected $= (2.61 \times 10^5 ) * (1.643 \times 10^3 )$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= (2.61*1.643) \times 10^{5+3}$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= 4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds

Hence final answer is $4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds.

Usian bolt can run 100meters in 9.58 seconds . my car can drive 100kilometers an hour. which is faster, is it faster to travel 1

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Your car is faster of course

Step-by-step explanation:

100 km would be 100000 meters. Then you would need to know that if Usain bolt ran 100 meters every 9.54 sec then in 100000 meters he would have ran 9540 seconds which is also known has 159 minutes, which is more than 1 hour so your car is faster.

Answer:

Part A) The graph in the attached figure (see the explanation)

Part B) 16 feet

Part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Graph the function

Let

h(t) ----> the height in feet of the ball above the ground

t -----> the time in seconds

we have

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+98$

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex is a maximum

To graph the parabola, find the vertex, the intercepts, and the axis of symmetry

<em>Find the vertex</em>

The function is written in vertex form

so

The vertex is the point (0,98)

Find the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of the function when the value of t is equal to zero

For t=0

$h(t)=-16(0)^{2}+98$

$h(0)=98$

The y-intercept is the point (0,98)

Find the t-intercepts

The t-intercepts are the values of t when the value of the function is equal to zero

For h(t)=0

$-16t^{2}+98=0$

$t^{2}=\frac{98}{16}$

square root both sides

$t=\pm\frac{\sqrt{98}}{4}$

$t=\pm7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$

therefore

The t-intercepts are

$(-7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4},0), (7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4},0)$

$(-2.475,0), (2.475,0)$

Find the axis of symmetry

The equation of the axis of symmetry in a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

$x=0$ ----> the y-axis

To graph the parabola, plot the given points and connect them

we have

The vertex is the point $(0,98)$

The y-intercept is the point $(0,98)$

The t-intercepts are $(-2.475,0), (2.475,0)$

The axis of symmetry is the y-axis

The graph in the attached figure

Part B) How far is the artifact fallen from the time t=0 to time t=1

we know that

For t=0

$h(t)=-16(0)^{2}+98$

$h(0)=98\ ft$

For t=1

$h(t)=-16(1)^{2}+98$

$h(1)=82\ ft$

Find the difference

$98\ ft-82\ ft=16\ ft$

Part C) Does the artifact fall the same distance from time t=1 to time t=2 as it does from the time t=0 to time t=1?

we know that

For t=1

$h(t)=-16(1)^{2}+98$

$h(1)=82\ ft$

For t=2

$h(t)=-16(2)^{2}+98$

$h(2)=34\ ft$

Find the difference

$82\ ft-34\ ft=48\ ft$

so

The artifact fall 48 feet from time t=1 to time t=2 and fall 16 feet from time t=0 to time t=1

therefore

The distance traveled from t=1 to t=2 is greater than the distance traveled from t=0 to t=1
