In a free-fall experiment, an object is dropped from a height of h = 400 feet. A camera on the ground 500 ft from the point of i

mpact records the fall of the object (t
he shape is  a 90 degree angle with 500 ft at the bottom).


(a) Find the position function that yields the height of the object at time t assuming the object is released at time t = 0.
h(t) =


At what time will the object reach ground level? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
t =
5.12
sec

(b) Find the rates of change of the angle of elevation of the camera when t = 1 and t = 2. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
θ'(1) =
rad/sec
θ'(2) =
rad/sec

Hmmm the object, is at rest, when dropped, so it has a velocity of 0 ft/s

the only force acting on the object, is gravity, using feet will then be -32ft/s²,


was wondering myself on -32 or 32.. but anyhow... we'll settle for the negative value, since it seems to be just a bit of convention issues

so, we'll do the integral to get v(t) then

\bf \displaystyle \int -32\cdot dt\implies -32t+C
\\\\\\
\textit{object moves from \underline{rest}, so velocity is 0 at 0secs}
\\\\\\
-32(0)+C=0\implies C=0\implies \boxed{v(t)=-32t}
\\\\\\
\textit{now to get the positional s(t)}
\\\\\\
\displaystyle \int -32t\cdot dt\implies -16t^2+C
\\\\\\
\textit{the initial \underline{position} was 400ft away at 0secs}
\\\\\\
-16(0)^2+C=400\implies C=400\implies \boxed{s(t)=-16t^2+400}

when will it reach the ground level? let's set s(t) = 0

\bf s(t)=-16t^2+400\implies 0=-16t^2+400\implies \cfrac{-400}{-16}=t^2
\\\\\\
25=t^2\implies \boxed{5=t}

Can someone tell me step by step how to solve this?
sasho [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I take it that this is some sort of ratio.  Start by solving the brackets on the left.

Brackets: 1/3 - 1/10

Brackets: 10/30 - 3/30

Brackets: 7/30

Brackets^2: 49/900

Brackets^2 - 1/5: 49/900  - 180/900

Brackets^2 - 1/5: -131/900

(2/5)^2 = 4/25

The way this read, it should be

\frac{\frac{-131}{900} }{\frac{4}{25} }

Which when you invert and multiply becomes

\frac{-131}{900} * \frac{25}{4}

which finally becomes

\frac{-131}{144}

describe how making a list can help you solve a math problem.Write a problem that could be solved by making a list.
uranmaximum [27]
Making a list helps organize the information in a word problem that can otherwise be overwhelming and confusing. Making lists put out a straightforward guide and help you break down the problem so you really understand what you need to do. 
Word problem:
Maya has $55 and she gives her brother $10. She also gives her friend $15 and her sister $5. Her sister pays her back fully but her brother only pays back half of what he owed, promising to pay her back later. Her friend gives back 1/3 of what she owed, also promising to pay her back as soon as she can. How much money does Maya currently have?

In this problem, you have to process the money transactions and making a list will help you go step by step.

Given the parent function
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Option c is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a parabola y =x^2

From that transformation is done to get parabola as

y =(0.2x)^2

We find that instead of x here we use 0.2x

i.e. New x = 5 times old x

Hence there is a horizontal expansion of scale factor 5.

We can check with any point also

When y =4, x=2 in the parent graph

But when y =4 , we have x = 10 in the new graph

i.e. there is a horizontal expansion of scale factor 5.
