s the time in seconds and s(t) is the distance in feet from the top of the building.What was the average speed of the fall? Use the fact that the pencil hit the ground in exactly 2.8 seconds. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

<h2>-29.61m/s</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance of fall of the student in term of the time t expressed by the equation s(t) = −16t² + 8√t, to get the average speed of fall of the pencil after 2.8 secs, we will need to differentiate the given function first since Velocity is the change in distance of a body with respect to time i.e

V = d(s(t))/dt

s(t) = −16t² + 8t^1/2

V = -32t+1/2(8)t^(1/2 - 1)

V = -32t+4t^-1/2

The average speed of the fall Using the fact that the pencil hit the ground in exactly 2.8 seconds, will be gotten by substituting t = 2.8 into the resulting equation.

V = -32t+4(2.8)^-1/2

V = -32t+4/√2.8

V = -32+4/1.6733

V = -32+2.391

v = -29.61m/s

<em>Hence the average speed of the fall is -29.61m/s</em>

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

6.779 years if the interest rate is in dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

If its 59 percent, it would be well less than a year.

However, if not, divide 400 by 59.

If so, multiply 2000 by .59 to get the per year interest,

then, divide 400 by 1180 to get the answer of 0.33898
