A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 99

Mathematics

Georgia [21]3 years ago

First, you need to convert miles to feet 

99 miles * \frac{5280 feet}{1 mile} = 522720 feet

now you can convert feet per hour to feet per second

\frac{522720 feet}{1 hour} *  \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes} *  \frac{1 minute}{60 seconds}

each unit will cancel out so that when you multiply them together the only units you are left with are feet in the numerator and seconds in the denominator

once it is multiplied, you should get

522720 feet/ 3600 seconds

since you want the feet per second, you want the denominator to equal 1, so to do this, you divide the numerator and the denominator by 3600

\frac{522720 feet}{3600 seconds} / 3600

now you should get your answer of 

145.2 feet per second

to get how many feet after 5 seconds you just multiply 145.2 by 5

145.2 * 5 = 726
the parachutist will fall 726 feet during 5 seconds of freefall

hope this helped!

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

It fails the vertical line test. The vertical line test checks to see if any inputs (x values) have more than one output. In this case, they do.

Given y=3x - 4, write an equation that is shifted down 10 and is less steep.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

y = ½x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation, y = 3x - 4, where the <u>slope</u>, m = 3, and the <u>y-intercept</u> is (0, -4):

The slope of a linear equation represents the steepness of the line's graph. The higher the value of the slope, the steeper the line. Hence, the slope of the other line must be less than three, but is greater than zero: 0 < <em>m</em> < 3.   (a negative slope will show a <em>declining</em> line).  

Next, the vertical translation of the line involves changing the value of the parent graph's y-intercept. Since the prompt states that the equation must represent a downward vertical shift of 10 units, then the y-intercept of the other line must be (0, -14).

The linear equation that I have chosen that meets the requirements of the given prompt is: y = ½x - 14.  <em>You're more than welcome to choose a different slope</em>, as long as it is less than 3, but is greater than 0 (must be a positive slope).

Attached is a graph of both equations, to demonstrate that the other equation represents a graph with a steeper slope than the original graph.
