1/2y^2=1/2x^2+8. The curve's slope at (x,y) is x/y, so dy/dx=x/y. To solve this differential equation, rearrange it to: y*dy=x*dx, and by integrating both sides, we get 1/2y^2=1/2x^2+C (some constant). Plug in (0,4) into this equation, 8=0+C, so C=8. The curve's equation is 1/2y^2=1/2x^2+8.
Answer:
240
Step-by-step explanation:
The top triangle has an area of 40 while the bottom rectangle has an area of 200. Add them together and you get 240
vi is going in the positive direction (up). (That's my choice). a (acceleration) is going in the minus direction (down). The directions could be reversed.
Givens
vi = 160 ft/s
vf = 0 (the rocket stops at the maximum height.)
a = - 9.81 m/s
t = ????
Remark
YOu have 4 parameters between the givens and what you want to solve. Only 1 equation will relate those 4. Always always list your givens with these problems so you can pick the right equation.
Equation
a = (vf - vi)/t
Solve
- 32 = (0 - 160)/t Multiply both sides by t
-32 * t = - 160 Divide by -32
t = - 160/-32
t = 5
You will also need to solve for the height to answer part B
t = 5
vi = 160 m/s
a = - 32
d = ???
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
d = 160*5 + 1/2 * - 32 * 5^2
d = 800 - 400
d = 400 feet
Part B
You are at the maximum height. vi is 0 this time because you are starting to descend.
vi = 0
a = 32 m/s^2
d = 400 feet
t = ??
formula
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
400 = 0 + 1/2 * 32 * t^2
400 = 16 * t^2
400/16 = t^2
t^2 = 25
t = 5 sec
The free fall takes the same amount of time to come down as it did to go up. Sort of an amazing result.
