A high-speed bullet train accelerates and decelerates at the rate of 10 ft/s 2 . Its maximum cruising speed is 105 mi/h . (Round

your answers to three decimal places.) (a) What is the maximum distance the train can travel if it accelerates from rest until it reaches its cruising speed and then runs at that speed for 15 minutes?
(b) Suppose that the train starts from rest and must come to a complete stop in 15 minutes. What is the maximum distance it can travel under these conditions?(c) Find the minimum time that the train takes to travel between two consecutive stations that are 37.5 miles apart.(d) The trip from one station to the next takes at minimum 37.5 minutes. How far apart are the stations?

Answer:

a) 26.47 miles

b) 138600 ft

c) 2.74 secs

d) 1.33 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of acceleration and deceleration = 10ft/s^2

Maximum cruising speed= 105 mi/h

Convert the cruising speed to ft/s

105*5280 / 3600

= 154 ft/s

15 mins = 15*60

= 900 secs

a) acceleration from rest = a(t)

a(t) = 10ft/s

Integrate a(t) to find v(t)

v(t) = 10t + C

Since v(0) = 0 , C = 0

V(t) = 10ft/s

To find s(t), integrate v(t)

s(t) = 10t^2/2 + C

s(t) = 5t^2 + C

When t= 0 , C = 0

s(t) = 5t^2

Time to get to maximum cruising speed = t

10t = 154

t = 154/10

t = 15.4 secs

Distance traveled with the acceleration time

s(15.4) = 5(15.4)^2

= 1185.8 ft

Maximum distance traveled = 900*154

= 138600ft

Total distance traveled = 1185.8 + 138600 =139785.8 ft

Convert to miles

139785.8/5280

= 26.47 miles

When s = 37.5

Recall that s(t) = 5t^2

37.5 = 5t^2

t^2 = 37.5/5

t^2 = 7.5

t = √7.5

t = 2.74 secs

When t = 37.5

s(37.5) = 5(37.5)^2

= 7031.25ft

Convert to miles

S= 7031.25/5280

s. = 1.33 miles

Help me solve the volume for the sphere?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

38.77 yd³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the sphere can be determined by using the formula 4πr³/3.

[Where "r" is the radius of the circle].

<u>We are given that:</u>

Radius of circle = 2.1 yd

<u />

<u>When we substitute the radius in the formula, we get;</u>

⇒ 4 × π × (2.1)³/3

<u>Let π be substituted as 3.14. Then;</u>

⇒ 4 × π × (2.1)³/3

⇒ 4 × (3.14) × (2.1)³/3

<u>When evaulating the cube of 2.1, we get;</u>

⇒ 4 × (3.14) × (2.1)³/3

⇒ 4 × (3.14) × (2.1) × (2.1) × (2.1)/3

<u>When simplified, we get;</u>

⇒ 4 × (3.14) × (2.1) × (2.1) × (2.1)/3

⇒ 4 × (3.14) × (2.1) × (2.1) × (0.7)

⇒ 4 × (3.14) × (4.41) × (0.7)

⇒ (12.56) × (4.41) × (0.7)

⇒ 38.77272 ≈ 38.77 yd³          (Rounded to nearest hundredth)    

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 38.77 yd³.

Solve using substitution y = 4 - 2x + 4y = 12
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

ANSWER:

The value of x is 2 and of y is 4

(2,4)

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following equation system

\begin{gathered} y=4 \\ -2x+4y=12 \end{gathered}

solving for substitution:

\begin{gathered} -2x+4\cdot4=12 \\ -2x+16=12 \\ -2x=12-16 \\ x=\frac{-4}{-2} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

The table below shows the value of a car during certain years . Using an exponential model , write an equation for the curve of
blondinia [14]

The exponential function that gives the value of the car in t years after 2008 is:

A(t) = 27500(0.88)^t.

Using the function, the estimate for the value of the car in 2016 is of $9,900.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem:

  • The initial value is of A(0) = 27,500.
  • Considering the first year change, we have that 1 - r = 24200/27500 = 0.88.

Hence, the equation is:

A(t) = 27500(0.88)^t

2016 is 8 years after 2008, hence the value of the car will be given by:

A(8) = 27500(0.88)^8 = 9900
