2. A skydiver jumps from a plane from an altitude of 6000 ft. An observer on the ground measures the skydiver’s altitude at time

t = 0 to be 4500 ft. The linear graph shows the skydiver’s altitude at various times during her descent. (a) Identify the y-intercept. How does the y-intercept relate to the skydiver’s position relative to the ground? Explain. (b) Determine the slope of the line. According to the slope, is the skydiver ascending or descending and what is the rate of ascent or descent? Explain. (c) Identify the x-intercept. What does the x-intercept mean in this context? Explain. (d) Write an equation for the line. :

The y-intercept would be 4500 ft. , and this would change relative to how long she had been falling. There is not enough information to determine a slope, but the skydiver is descending, and the rate equals the slope. The x-intercept is the time when she hits the ground. I would need a slope to find the equation.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4340 kilometers in 7 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 3120 kilom
Over [174]

The rate of the wind is given to be 210 the rate of the plane in mid air is given as 830

<h3>Howe to solve for the rate of the plane and wind</h3>

In 7 hours the kilometer traveled =  4340

P + W = 4340/7

= 620

P-W = 3120/3 hours

= 1040

2p = 1040 + 620

= 1660

p =830

W = 1040 - 830

= 210

Hence the rate of the wind is given to be 210 the rate of the plane in mid air is given as 830

Jacob and Ali want to run from one corner of a football field to the opposite corner. The rectangular football field is 50 yards
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Jacob ran 40 yards more than Ali.

Step-by-step explanation:

Football field is in the shape of a rectangle having dimensions 120 yards × 50 yards

Since Jacob runs around the perimeter of the field from one corner to other corner, therefore, distance run by Jacob = (\text{Length+width})

Distance run by Jacob = 50 + 120 = 170 yards

Ali runs through the middle of the field diagonally on a straight line.

Therefore, distance covered by Ali = \sqrt{\text{length}^{2}+\text{width}^{2}}

= \sqrt{(50)^{2}+(120)^{2}}

= \sqrt{2500+14400}

= \sqrt{16900}

= 130 yards

Now difference between the distance covered by Jacob and Ali

= 170 - 130

= 40 yards

Therefore, Jacob ran 40 yards more than Ali.
