Answer: a) 7.56m/s b) 6.245m/s on its way up and -6.245m/s on its way down.

Explanation:

a) Velocity after 2 seconds

H = 15t - 1.86t^2

V(0) = 15 m/s

Now let’s first differentiate h with respect to t , we have

d/dt x h = d/dt (15t - 1.86t^2)

= 15 d/dt x t - 1.86 d/dt x t^2

= 15 x 1 - 1.86(2t) = 15 - 3.72t

t = 2 sec

Therefore

V(t) = 15 - 3.72(2) = 7.56 m/s

b) if height is 25m

H = 15t - 1.86t^2

Therefore h = 25, we have

25 = 15t - 1.86t^2

15t - 1.86t^2 - 25 = 0

1500t - 186t^2 - 2500 = 0

-186t^2 + 1500t - 2500 = 0

Using quadratic equation to find the roots of equation

First root t1 = 2.3535

Second root T2 = 5.71102

Now, at t1,

V(t1) = 15 - 3.72 (2.3535) = 6.245 m/s

The velocity of the rock on its way up is 6.245 m/s

V(T2) = 15 - 3.72 (5.71102) = -6.245 m/s

The velocity of the rock on its way down is -6.245 m/s

A man 6 feet tall walks at a rate of 6 feet per second away from a light that is 15 feet above the ground.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:(a)10 ft/s

(b)4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of light $=15 feet$

height of man $=6 feet$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=6 ft/s$

From diagram

$\frac{15}{y}=\frac{6}{y-x}$

$5(y-x)=2y$

$3y=5x$

differentiate both sides

$3\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=5\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Tip of shadow is moving at the rate of

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{5}{3}\times 6=10 ft/s$

(b)rate at which length of his shadow is changing

Length of shadow is $y-x$

differentiating w.r.t time

$\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}-\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=10-6=4 ft/s$

Your car's 30.0 W headlight and 2.50 kW starter are ordinarily connected in parallel in a 12.0 V system. What power (in W) would

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

<h3>The power of headlight in series connection is 29.64 W</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Power of headlight $P_{1} = 30$ W

Power of starter $P_{2} = 2500$ W

Voltage of headlight and starter $V = 12$ V

From equation of power,

$P = \frac{V^{2} }{R}$

$R = \frac{V^{2} }{P}$

For finding the resistance of headlight and starter,

⇒ For headlight,

$R_{1} = \frac{144}{30} = 4.8$ Ω

⇒ For starter,

$R_{2} = \frac{144}{2500} = 0.057$ Ω

Since equivalent resistance,

$R_{eq} = R_{1} + R_{2} + ........$

$R_{eq} = 4.8 +0.057 = 4.857$ Ω

So power in series is given by,

$P_{s } = \frac{V^{2} }{R_{eq} } = \frac{144}{4.857}$

$P_{s } = 29.64$ W

What is the speed of sound in air at 50°F (in ft/s)?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air with temperature

$v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{T}{273.15}} \\$

Here speed is in m/s and T is in celcius scale.

T = 50°F

$T=(50-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=10^0C \\$

Substituting

$v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{10}{273.15}}=337.31m/s \\$

Now we need to convert m/s in to ft/s.

1 m = 3.28 ft

Substituting

$v_{air}=337.31\times 3.28=1106.38ft/s \\$

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

How is acceleration calculated?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because distance divided by time is the position. Speed multiplied by time is the distance. And acceleration is not just velocity, but the change in velocity over time.
