It's not clear to me what the given interval is supposed to be, so I'll use a generic one, [a, b] with a < b.
The average acceleration of the particle over this interval is given by the average rate of change of v(t),
Answer: it will take 9 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rain is falling at the rate of 1.5 inches per hour. This means that the height of water in the barrel is increasing in arithmetic progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + d(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 18 inches
d = 1.5 inches
The expression becomes
Tn = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
For the number of hours it would take to collect 30 inches of rain in the barrel, Tn = 30
Therefore,
30 = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
1.5(n - 1) = 30 - 18
1.5(n - 1) = 12
n - 1 = 12/1.5 = 8
n = 8 + 1
n = 9
Answer:
what grade are you??........
I got the wrong answer. I don't want to keep this up just in case anyone needs the answer to this question again. But I can't delete my answer so I'll just leave this. Have a nice day tho. Sorry about that :(
