A 11-inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate of 0.9 inches per hour. Let t t represent the number of hours since the can

dle was lit, and suppose f f is a function such that f ( t ) f(t) represents the remaining length of the candle (in inches) t t hours after it was lit. Write a function formula for f f.

Answer: F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

Explanation:

We know the following:

The candle burns at a ratio given by:

Burning Ratio (Br)  = 0.9 inches / hour

The candle is 11 inches long.

To be able to create a function that give us how much on the candle remains after turning it after a time (t). We will need to know how much of the candle have been burned after t.

Let look the following equation:

Br = Candle Inches (D) / Time for the Candle to burn (T)      (1)

Where (1) is similar to the Velocity equation:

Velocity (V) = Distance (D)/Time(T)

This because is only a relation between a magnitude and time.

Let search for D on (1)

D = Br*T  (2)

Where D is how much candle has been burn in a specif time

To create a function that will tell us how longer remains of the candle after be given a variable time (t) we use the total lenght minus (2):

How much candle remains? ( F(t) ) = 11 inches - Br*t

F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

F(t) defines the remaining length of the candle t hours after being lit

As your skateboard coasts uphill, your speed changes from 3 m/s to 1 m/s in
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

a=-0.33\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

The acceleration of a moving body is defined as the relation of change of speed (or velocity in vector form) with the time taken. The formula is given by

\displaystyle a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Where vf and vo are the final and initial speeds respectively. The problem gives us these values: v0 = 3 m/s, vf = 1 m/s, t = 3 seconds. Computing a

\displaystyle a=\frac{1-3}{3}=-0.33\ m/s^2

The negative sing of a indicates there is deceleration or decreasing speed

What is the acceleration of a 0.90g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing?
Scilla [17]
The acceleration of a 0.90 g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing is the sum of the acceleration of the movement of the finger and the acceleration of gravity. In this case, this is different when the finger goes down, since the acceleration now becomes the difference between the two.

evablogger [386]

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t

A skateboarder flies horizontally off a cement planter. After a time of 3 seconds (Δt), he lands with a final velocity (v) of −4.5 m/s. Assuming the acceleration is -9.8 m/s² (a), we can calculate the initial velocity of the skateboarder (v₀) using the kinematic equation A.

v = v_o + a \Delta t\\\\v_o = v - a \Delta t = (-4.5 m/s) - (-9.8 m/s^{2} ) \times 3 s = 24.9 m/s

Given the time, the final velocity and the acceleration, we can calculate the initial velocity using the kinematic equation A:

v = v_o + a \Delta t
