“The height of an arrow” NEED HELP WITH THIS QUESTION ASAP!

Mathematics
1 answer:
goldenfox [79]3 years ago

Answer:

a) t = 0.54 seconds

b) t = 8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question the equation

h = 40t - 5t²

<em> where h is height in meters</em>

<em>             t is time in seconds</em>

<em />

Time it took to reach 20 meters

20 = 40t - 5t²

-5t² + 40t - 20 = 0

by using quadratic formula for factorisation

<h3>t = (-b± √(b)² - 4(a)(c) ) / 2(a)</h3>

t = 0.54 (upward motion)

or

t = 7.46 (downward motion)

b) Time it took to reach the ground

at ground h = 0

So,

0 = 40t - 5t²

t(40 - 5t ) = 0

t = 0 (at starting point)

or

40 -5t = 0

5t = 40

t = 40 /5

t = 8 seconds

A particle moves along the x-axis so that at time t its position is given by s(t) = (t + 1)(t - 3)3, t &gt; 0. /p&gt;For what va
Zepler [3.9K]

Given the position function, the velocity function is obtained by taking the derivative:

s(t)=(t+1)(t-3)^3\implies v(t)=(t-3)^3+3(t+1)(t-3)^2

The velocity is increasing its own derivative is positive, so we also have to find the acceleration by taking another derivative:

a(t)=4(t-3)^3+3(t-3)^2+6(t+1)(t-3)

To find when a(t)>0, we first need to know where a(t)=0:

4(t-3)^3+3(t-3)^2+6(t+1)(t-3)=(t-3)\bigg(4(t-3)^2+3(t-3)+6(t+1)\bigg)=(t-3)(4t^2-15t+33)=0

The quadratic factor is always positive (its discriminant is negative), which leaves one solution at t=3. To either side of t=3, we have, for instance,

a(2)=-12

a(4)=36>0

which indicates that v(t) is increasing for t>3, making the answer A.
