The most cost effective way to purchase 1000 sheets is 500 sheets at a time for $1,500.

The cost of buying 1000 sheet by different method is

(a) Hundred sheet at $500, =10×$500=$5000

(b) 200 sheet at $1000, =5×$1000=$5000

(c) 500 sheet at $1500, =2×$1500=$3000

(d) 1000 sheet at $3500, =1×$3500=$3500

Therefore the most cost effective way to purchase 1000 sheets is 500 sheets at a time for $1,500.

An object moves in a straight line and is speeding up. Which one of the following statements is true?

kaheart [24]

I could be wrong on this one, but I think the answer is the first option, The net force on the object is in the direction of motion.

Friction can be acting on the object, but if the other force(s) that are acting on the object are greater, I think the object will still be able to accelerate.

The third option can't be true, according to Newton's second law $(f=ma)$ . If there were no forces acting on the object, or if the net forces cancelled each other out, the object wouldn't be accelerating unless its mass was changing.

I suppose the last option is also technically true, but the first is more specific..?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a.

$\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2$

b. $\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15$

c. $t=9.9 \ sec$

Explanation:

Modeling With Functions

Careful measurements have produced a model of one sprinter's velocity at a given t, and it's is given by

$\displaystyle V(t)=a(1-e^{bt})$

For Carl Lewis's run at the 1987 World Championships, the values of a and b are

$\displaystyle a=11.81\ ,\ b=-0.6887$

Please note we changed the value of b to negative to make the model have sense. Thus, the equation for the velocity is

$\displaystyle V(t)=11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})$

a. What was Lewis's acceleration at t = 0 s, 2.00 s, and 4.00 s?

To compute the accelerations, we must find the function for a as the derivative of v

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=11.81(0.6887\ e^{0.6887t})$

$\displaystyle a(t)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887t}$

For t=0

$\displaystyle a(0)=8.133547\ e^o$

$\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2$

For t=2

$\displaystyle a(2)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 2}$

$\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(4)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 4}$

$\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2$

b. Find an expression for the distance traveled at time t.

The distance is the integral of the velocity, thus

$\displaystyle X(t)=\int v(t)dt \int 11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})dt=11.81(t+\frac{e^{-0.6887t}}{0.6887})+C$

$\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45201\ e^{-0.6887t})+C$

To find the value of C, we set X(0)=0, the sprinter starts from the origin of coordinates

$\displaystyle x(0)=0=>11.81\times1.45201+C=0$

Solving for C

$\displaystyle c=-17.1482\approx -17.15$

Now we complete the equation for the distance

$\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15$

c. Find the time Lewis needed to sprint 100.0 m.

The equation for the distance cannot be solved by algebraic procedures, but we can use approximations until we find a close value.

We are required to find the time at which the distance is 100 m, thus

$\displaystyle X(t)=100=>11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15=100$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t}=9.92$

We define an auxiliary function f(t) to help us find the value of t.

$\displaystyle f(t)=t+1.45\ e^{-0.687t}-9.92$

Let's try for t=9 sec

$\displaystyle f(9)=9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9}-9.92=-0.92$

Now with t=9.9 sec

$\displaystyle f(9.9)=9.9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9.9}-9.92=-0.0184$

That was a real close guess. One more to be sure for t=10 sec

$\displaystyle f(10)=10+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 10}-9.92=0.081$

The change of sign tells us we are close enough to the solution. We choose the time that produces a smaller magnitude for f(t).

$At t\approx 9.9\ sec, \text{ Lewis sprinted 100 m}$
