A rock is thrown upward from a bridge that is 43 feet above a road. The rock reaches its maximum height above the road 0.91 seco

nds after it is thrown and contacts the road 3.06 seconds after it was thrown. Define a quadratic function, f, that gives the height of the rock above the road (in feet) in terms of the number of seconds elapsed since the rock was thrown, t

Answer:

43 + (8.93)*t + (9.81)t²/2  for 0 < t < 0.91

55 - (9.81)t²/2 for 0.91 < t < 3.06 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple kinematic equations used:

a = dv/dt ... Eq 1 and v = ds/dt .... Eq 2

Using Eq 1:

a.dt = dv - separating variables

∫a.dt = ∫dv - integrating both sides 0< t < t and vi < v < vf

(a.t) = (vf - vi) - Solving and evaluating integral

Hence,

vf = vi + a*t .... Eq 3

Using Eq 2:

vf.dt = ds - separating variables

∫(vi+a*t).dt = ∫ds - Substitute Eq 3 and integrating both sides 0< t < t and si < s < sf

vi*t + at²/2 = sf-si .... Eq 4

Now using the data given and Eq 4 & Eq 3:

Interval 1: For rock at max height above road @ t = 0.91 sec and vf = 0, for 0 < t < 0.91

vi = - a*t = - (-9.81)*(0.91) = 8.93 m/s

Plugging in Eq 4:

sf = si + vi*t + at²/2 = 43 + (8.93)*t + (9.81)t²/2 = 55 fts @ t = 0.91 sec

Interval 2: For rock in contact with road @ t = 3.06 sec and vi = 0, for 0.91 < t < 3.06

Using Eq 4

sf = si + vi*t + at²/2 = 55 - (9.81)t²/2 for 0.91 < t < 3.06 sec

Write an inequality that would include the point (3,78), (0,312), (5,10) to be part of the solution.
just olya [345]

Answer:

We want to write an inequality with the points (3, 78), (0, 312) and (5, 10) as solutions.

Then the set of the x-values is {0, 3, 5}

The set of the y-values is {10. 78. 312}

So if we wrote an inequality like:

y > 5

It would include all these solutions, because:

10 > 5

78 >  5

312 > 5

And this has no restriction on the x-variable, so all the x-value range can be a solution, meaning that the points (3, 78), (0, 312) and (5, 10) are solutions to that inequality.

Another one (also trivial) can be:

x < 9

because:

3 < 9

0 < 9

5 < 9

And we have no restriction on the y-values, then the points (3, 78), (0, 312) and (5, 10) are solutions to that inequality.

Big Time Movers charges an initial fee of $24.50, plus $12.75 an hour for their moving services. On holidays, they charge 2.5 ti
stiv31 [10]
2.5(12.75x + 24.50) = 188.75
31.875x + 61.25 = 188.75
31.875x = 188.75 - 61.25
31.875x = 127.50
x = 127.50 / 31.875
