Answer:
Explanation:
Given the height reached by a balloon after t sec modeled by the equation
h=1/2t²+1/2t
a) To calculate the height of the balloon after 40 secs we will substitute t = 40 into the modeled equation and calculate the value of t
If h(t)=1/2t²+1/2t
h(40) = 1/2(40)²+1/2 (40)
h(40) = 1600/2 + 40/2
h(40) = 800 + 20
h(40) = 820 feet
The height of the balloon after 40 secs is 820 feet
b) Velocity is the change of displacement of a body with respect to time.
v = dh/dt
v(t) = 2(1/2)t²⁻¹ + 1/2
v(t) = t + 1/2
when v = 0sec
v(0) = 0 + 1/2
v(0) = 1/2 ft/sec
at v = 30secs
v(30) = 30 + 1/2
v(30) = 30 1/2 ft/sec
average velocity = v(30) - v(0)
average velocity = 30 1/2 - 1/2
average velocity of the balloon between t = 0 and t = 30 = 30 ft/sec
c) Velocity is the change of displacement of a body with respect to time.
v = dh/dt
v(t) = 2(1/2)t²⁻¹ + 1/2
v(t) = t + 1/2
The velocity of the balloon after 30secs will be;
v(30) = 30+1/2
v(30) = 30.5ft/sec
The velocity of the balloon after 30 secs is 30.5 feet/sec
