Let \vec r(t),\vec v(t),\vec a(t) denote the rocket's position, velocity, and acceleration vectors at time t.

We're given its initial position

\vec r(0)=\langle0,0,10\rangle\,\mathrm m

and velocity

\vec v(0)=\langle250,450,500\rangle\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

Immediately after launch, the rocket is subject to gravity, so its acceleration is

\vec a(t)=\langle0,2.5,-g\rangle\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}

where g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}.

a. We can obtain the velocity and position vectors by respectively integrating the acceleration and velocity functions. By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

\vec v(t)=\left(\vec v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\vec a(u)\,\mathrm du\right)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

\vec v(t)=\left(\langle250,450,500\rangle+\langle0,2.5u,-gu\rangle\bigg|_0^t\right)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

(the integral of 0 is a constant, but it ultimately doesn't matter in this case)

\boxed{\vec v(t)=\langle250,450+2.5t,500-gt\rangle\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

and

\vec r(t)=\left(\vec r(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\vec v(u)\,\mathrm du\right)\,\rm m

\vec r(t)=\left(\langle0,0,10\rangle+\left\langle250u,450u+1.25u^2,500u-\dfrac g2u^2\right\rangle\bigg|_0^t\right)\,\rm m

\boxed{\vec r(t)=\left\langle250t,450t+1.25t^2,10+500t-\dfrac g2t^2\right\rangle\,\rm m}

b. The rocket stays in the air for as long as it takes until z=0, where z is the z-component of the position vector.

10+500t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t\approx102\,\rm s

The range of the rocket is the distance between the rocket's final position and the origin (0, 0, 0):

\boxed{\|\vec r(102\,\mathrm s)\|\approx64,233\,\rm m}

c. The rocket reaches its maximum height when its vertical velocity (the z-component) is 0, at which point we have

-\left(500\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(z_{\rm max}-10\,\mathrm m)

\implies\boxed{z_{\rm max}=125,010\,\rm m}

Robin has $450 to spend on home repairs. The repairman charges $65 for the initial visit and $37.50 per hour or part of an hour.
laiz [17]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up the equation. Seeing the word "per", we know that this will be the variable. The repairman charges an initial fee of 37.50, so we add that fee to the total cost of every hour. To find how much Robin can spend, you set it equal to 450

65x + 37.50 = 450

Now subtract 37.50 from both sides because neither number has a variable, so you can subtract them to simplify the equation

65x = 412.5

To isolate x and find what it's equal to, divide both sides by 65 to get rid of the coefficient.

x = 6.34.

However the answer should be 6 because robin cannot afford a full or part of a 7th hour

Ugo [173]
We will use ratio and proportion between the inclined sides with its corresponding horizontal bases. Then we could determine for the value of segment AQ.

PA/SB = AQ/BR
32/30 = AQ/24
AQ = 25.6 yd

Since what is asked is segment PQ,
PQ = PA + AQ
PQ = 32 + 25.6
PQ = 57.6 yards

Solve: 5/2x - 1/3= -1/2<br><br>A. x=-5/12<br>B. x= -25/12<br>C. x= -1/15<br>D. x= 1/3​
devlian [24]

Answer:

c. x = -1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

5/2x - 1/3 = -1/2 [multiply the whole equation by 6 (lowest common denom)

15x - 2 = -3 [add 2 on both sides of equation

15x = -1 [divide both sides by 15 to isolate x]

x = -1/15
