Lukalu is rappelling off a cliff. The parametric equations that describe her horizontal and vertical position as a function of t

ime are x ( t ) = 8 t and y ( t ) = − 16 t 2 + 100 and . How long does it take her to reach the ground? How far away from the cliff is she when she lands?

Answer:

2.5 s, 5 m

Explanation:

The equations for the horizontal and vertical position of Lukalu are:

x(t) = 8t\\y(t) = -16t^2 + 100

we can find the time it takes her to reach the ground by requiring that the vertical position becomes zero:

y(t) = 0

So we find:

0=-16t^2 +100\\16t^2 = 100\\t=\sqrt{\frac{100}{16}}=2.5 s

The horizontal distance of Lukalu instead will be given by the equation for the horizontal position, substituting t = 2.5 s:

x=8t = 8 \cdot 2.5 s =5 m

Solution 
x(t) = 8 cos t, x(5π/6)= 8 cos(<span>5π/6)
</span>cos(5π/6)=cos(3π/6 + 2π/6 )=cos(π/3 +π/2)= - sin π/3  (cos (x+<span>π/2)= -sinx)
</span>x(t) = -8sin <span>π/3 = - 4 .sqrt3
</span>v(t) = -8sint = -8sin (π/3 +<span>π/2)= -8 cosπ/3 </span>(sin (x+π/2)= cosx)
v(t) =<span> -8 cosπ/3 = -8/2= - 4 
</span>a(5π/6) = - 8cost = -(- sin π/3)= 4 .<span>sqrt3
</span>a(5π/6) =  4 .<span>sqrt3</span>
