The freefall function to calculate velocity, v, of an object that begins at rest and falls for distance d is v(d) = 2gd , where

g is the acceleration due to gravity. The Storm Runner roller coaster at Hershey Park drops 55 m. Use the free-fall function to calculate to the nearest tenth its velocity at the end of the freefall. Use g = 9.8 m/s2 Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box. v(55) = m/s​

Answer:

  32.8 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is actually ...

  v(d) = \sqrt{2gd}

Filling in the given values, the velocity is about ...

  v(55) = \sqrt{2\cdot9.8\cdot55}=\sqrt{1078}\approx32.8\text{ m/s}

The velocity at the end of the free-fall is about 32.8 meters per second.

Can someone explain what geometric sequences are?
Fed [463]

Explanation:

A sequence is a list of numbers.

A <em>geometric</em> sequence is a list of numbers such that the ratio of each number to the one before it is the same. The common ratio can be any non-zero value.

<u>Examples</u>

  • 1, 2, 4, 8, ... common ratio is 2
  • 27, 9, 3, 1, ... common ratio is 1/3
  • 6, -24, 96, -384, ... common ratio is -4

___

<u>General Term</u>

Terms of a sequence are numbered starting with 1. We sometimes use the symbol a(n) or an to refer to the n-th term. The general term of a geometric sequence, a(n), can be described by the formula ...

  a(n) = a(1)×r^(n-1) . . . . . n-th term of a geometric sequence

where a(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio. The above example sequences have the formulas ...

  • a(n) = 2^(n -1)
  • a(n) = 27×(1/3)^(n -1)
  • a(n) = 6×(-4)^(n -1)

You can see that these formulas are exponential in nature.

__

<u>Sum of Terms</u>

Another useful formula for geometric sequences is the formula for the sum of n terms.

  S(n) = a(1)×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . sum of n terms of a geometric sequence

When |r| < 1, the sum converges as n approaches infinity. The infinite sum is ...

  S = a(1)/(1-r)
