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}

Draw two polygons that have corresponding angles that are all congruent but are not similar to prove that angle congruence is no
Marina86 [1]

There are infinitely many ways to do this. One such way is to draw a very thin stretched out rectangle (say one that is very tall) and a square. Example: the rectangle is 100 by 2, while the square is 4 by 4.

Both the rectangle and the square have the same corresponding angle measures. All angles are 90 degrees.

However, the figures are not similar. You cannot scale the rectangle to have it line up with the square. The proportions of the sides do not lead to the same ratio

100/4 = 25

2/4 = 0.5

so 100/4 = 2/4 is not a true equation. This numerically proves the figures are not similar.

side note: if you are working with triangles, then all you need are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles. If you have more than three sides for the polygon, then you'll need to confirm the sides are in proportion along with the angles being congruent as well.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,-2) and has a slope of -1/2
vampirchik [111]

Answer: y=-1/2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use point slope formula you get

y+2=-1/2(x+4)

simplify that in y=mx+b and you get

y=-1/2x-4

A zoo collected data on the diving times of turtles. Based on the data, the regression line is j = 0.010 + 2.515x, where x is th
mariarad [96]

Answer:

6.298 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are told that x is the time of the dive in minutes.

We simply first need to convert 150 seconds to minutes before substitution into the regression formula;

Kindly recall that 60 seconds = 1 minute

So 150 seconds will be 150/60 = 2.5 minutes

We now proceed to substitute into;

j = 0.010 + 2.515(x)

i = 0.010 + 2.515(2.5)

j = 0.010 + 6.2875

j = 6.2975 which go 3 decimal places is 6.298 meters

What is the y-intercept of the line whose equation is y = –2x + 8?​
g100num [7]

Answer:

(0,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = –2x + 8

The y intercept is found when x =0

y = –2*0 + 8

y = 8

The y intercept is

(0,8)

Which of the following numbers between -3/4 and 5/8?
irga5000 [103]
Answer is B

Explanation:
Divide -3/4 which equals -0.75
Then divide 5/8 which equals 0.625
Now look at the answers and divide the ones that are in fractions to get a decimal
The answer is B because -1/2 = -0.5 and that is greater than -0.75 and less than 0.625
Sounds confusing sorry
