Answer:

Part A:

(a): -121.26 ft/s.

(b): -121.13 ft/s.

(c): -121.052 ft/s.

(d): -121.026 ft/s.

Part B:

-121.00 ft/s.

Explanation:

Given that the height of the balloon after t seconds is

\rm y(t) = 35 t-26t^2.

The average velocity of an object is defined as the total distance traveled by the object divided by the time taken in covering that distance.

\rm v_{av} = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{t_2-t_1}

where,

\rm y_2,\ y_1 are the positions of the object at time \rm t_1 and \rm t_2 respectively.

<h2><u>Part A:</u></h2><h2 />
  • For the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=3 and lasting .01 sec.

For this case,

\rm t_1 = 3\ sec.\\t_2 = 3+0.01\ sec = 3.01\ sec.\\\\Therefore, \\\\y_1 = 35\cdot 3-26\cdot 3^2=-129\ ft.\\y_2 = 35\cdot 3.01-26\cdot 3.01^2=-130.2126\ ft.\\\\\Rightarrow v_{av}=\dfrac{-130.2126-(-129)}{3.01-3}=-121.26\ ft/s.

  • For the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=3 and lasting .005 sec.

For this case,

\rm t_1 = 3\ sec.\\t_2 = 3+0.005\ sec = 3.005\ sec.\\\\Therefore, \\\\y_1 = 35\cdot 3-26\cdot 3^2=-129\ ft.\\y_2 = 35\cdot 3.005-26\cdot 3.005^2=-129.60565\ ft.\\\\\Rightarrow v_{av}=\dfrac{-129.60565-(-129)}{3.005-3}=-121.13\ ft/s.

  • For the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=3 and lasting .002 sec.

For this case,

\rm t_1 = 3\ sec.\\t_2 = 3+0.002\ sec = 3.002\ sec.\\\\Therefore, \\\\y_1 = 35\cdot 3-26\cdot 3^2=-129\ ft.\\y_2 = 35\cdot 3.002-26\cdot 3.002^2=-129.2421\ ft.\\\\\Rightarrow v_{av}=\dfrac{-129.2421-(-129)}{3.002-3}=-121.052\ ft/s.

  • For the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=3 and lasting .001 sec.

For this case,

\rm t_1 = 3\ sec.\\t_2 = 3+0.001\ sec = 3.001\ sec.\\\\Therefore, \\\\y_1 = 35\cdot 3-26\cdot 3^2=-129\ ft.\\y_2 = 35\cdot 3.001-26\cdot 3.001^2=-129.121\ ft.\\\\\Rightarrow v_{av}=\dfrac{-129.121-(-129)}{3.001-3}=-121.026\ ft/s.

<h2><u>Part B:</u></h2>

The instantaneous velocity of the balloon at the given time is defined as the rate of change of its position at that time.

\rm v(t) = \dfrac{dy}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}\left ( 35 t-26t^2\right )\\\\=35-26\times 2t.\\\\At\ t=3,\\\\v(t)=35-26\times 2\times 3=-121.00\ ft/s.

<u>Note:</u><em> The negative sign with all the velocities indicates that the direction of these velocities are downwards.</em>

A bell is ringing inside of a sealed glass jar that is connected to a vacuum pump. Initially, the jar is filled with air. What d
Mila [183]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a material medium for propagation. This means that sound waves must be carried in air. If there are no air molecules, sound waves can not travel.

When air is gradually removed from the jar by the pump, the sound intensity from the bell gradually decreases owing to the fact that air which is the medium through which sound waves are propagated is gradually being removed from the jar.

Please help me with this question, especially the angle part. I have solved the initial velocity already. I don't know what to d
Helga [31]
I think you almost got it.

At the top, the velocity only has horizontal component, so v=12 m/s is v_x, which is v*cos(theta), because v_x is constant, so the same when it was launched or now.

With the value of the initial speed (28 m/s, which is the total speed), you can set

v_x = v * cos( theta ) ---> 12 = 28*cos(theta) --> cos(theta)=12/28=3/7

or theta = 64.62 deg, it is D. Think about it. I hope you see it.

What is the acceleration of a 5kg mass pushed by a 10N force?
dem82 [27]

Answer:2m/s^2

Explanation:

mass=5kg

Force=10N

Acceleration=force ➗ mass

Acceleration=10 ➗ 5

Acceleration=2m/s^2

What is the upper temperature range for stars?
padilas [110]
The upper temperature range for stars is : c. 40,000 K

Every object has their own upper and lower temperature
This indicate the maximum possible energy that a star could release to its surrounding if its somehow exploded.
