A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 30 ft/s. Its height

in feet after t seconds is given by y=30t-10t^2. a) Find the average velocity over the time interval [2,2+ h] where h is given as follows: h= 0.1 ______ ft/s h= 0.01 _____ ft/s h= 0.001 _____ ft/s Estimate the instantaneous velocity when t= 2 _____ ft/s

Answer:

a) h = 0.1: \bar v = -11\,\frac{ft}{s}, h = 0.01: \bar v = -10.1\,\frac{ft}{s}, h = 0.001: \bar v = -10\,\frac{ft}{s}, b) The instantaneous velocity of the ball when t = 2\,s is -10 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know that y = 30\cdot t -10\cdot t^{2} describes the position of the ball, measured in feet, in time, measured in seconds, and the average velocity (\bar v), measured in feet per second, can be done by means of the following definition:

\bar v = \frac{y(2+h)-y(2)}{h}

Where:

y(2) - Position of the ball evaluated at t = 2\,s, measured in feet.

y(2+h) - Position of the ball evaluated at t =(2+h)\,s, measured in feet.

h - Change interval, measured in seconds.

Now, we obtained different average velocities by means of different change intervals:

h = 0.1\,s

y(2) = 30\cdot (2) - 10\cdot (2)^{2}

y (2) = 20\,ft

y(2.1) = 30\cdot (2.1)-10\cdot (2.1)^{2}

y(2.1) = 18.9\,ft

\bar v = \frac{18.9\,ft-20\,ft}{0.1\,s}

\bar v = -11\,\frac{ft}{s}

h = 0.01\,s

y(2) = 30\cdot (2) - 10\cdot (2)^{2}

y (2) = 20\,ft

y(2.01) = 30\cdot (2.01)-10\cdot (2.01)^{2}

y(2.01) = 19.899\,ft

\bar v = \frac{19.899\,ft-20\,ft}{0.01\,s}

\bar v = -10.1\,\frac{ft}{s}

h = 0.001\,s

y(2) = 30\cdot (2) - 10\cdot (2)^{2}

y (2) = 20\,ft

y(2.001) = 30\cdot (2.001)-10\cdot (2.001)^{2}

y(2.001) = 19.99\,ft

\bar v = \frac{19.99\,ft-20\,ft}{0.001\,s}

\bar v = -10\,\frac{ft}{s}

b) The instantaneous velocity when t = 2\,s can be obtained by using the following limit:

v(t) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{x(t+h)-x(t)}{h}

v(t) =  \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{30\cdot (t+h)-10\cdot (t+h)^{2}-30\cdot t +10\cdot t^{2}}{h}

v(t) =  \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{30\cdot t +30\cdot h -10\cdot (t^{2}+2\cdot t\cdot h +h^{2})-30\cdot t +10\cdot t^{2}}{h}

v(t) =  \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{30\cdot t +30\cdot h-10\cdot t^{2}-20\cdot t \cdot h-10\cdot h^{2}-30\cdot t +10\cdot t^{2}}{h}

v(t) =  \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{30\cdot h-20\cdot t\cdot h-10\cdot h^{2}}{h}

v(t) =  \lim_{h \to 0} 30-20\cdot t-10\cdot h

v(t) = 30\cdot  \lim_{h \to 0} 1 - 20\cdot t \cdot  \lim_{h \to 0} 1 - 10\cdot  \lim_{h \to 0} h

v(t) = 30-20\cdot t

And we finally evaluate the instantaneous velocity at t = 2\,s:

v(2) = 30-20\cdot (2)

v(2) = -10\,\frac{ft}{s}

The instantaneous velocity of the ball when t = 2\,s is -10 feet per second.

Check my answer? Please, no joking around guys.
WITCHER [35]
This is a right angle triangle 
So we can use the tangent 
tan x = 5/20 
tan x= 0.25 
x=tan^-1 (0.25) 
x= 14.04 degrees 
So yes you're correct
