Answer:
1. The car is slowing down at a rate of 2.5mph/s
2. The greatest acceleration is 10 mph/s.
3. In the interval 4s to 16s the speed remains constant and has magnitude 25 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The deceleration of the car is from 16 seconds to 24 seconds is the slope of the graph from 16 to 24:
the negative sign indicates that it is deceleration.
2. The automobile experiences the greatest change in speed when the slope is greatest because that is when acceleration/deceleration is greatest.
From the graph we see that the greatest slope of the graph is between 28 and 24 seconds. The acceleration the interval is the slope :
3. The automobile experiences no acceleration in the interval 4 s to 16 s—that's the graph is flat.
The speed of the automobile in that interval, as we see from the graph, is 25 mph.
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
Let h the height of the hill. =
At position A, the angle of elevation is 40°, and the horizontal distance to the foot of the hill is x.
By definition,
tan(40°) = h/x h = x tan40 = 0.8391x
(1)
At position B, Joe is (x - 450) ft from the foot of the hill. His angle of elevation is
40 + 18 = 58°.
By definition, tan(58°) = h/(x - 450)
h = (x - 450) tan(58°) = 1.6003(x-450)
h = 1.6003x - 720.135 (2)
Equate (1) and (2).
1.6003x - 720.135 = 0.8391x 0.7612x = 720.135
x = 946.0523
From (1), obtain
h = 0.8391*946.0523 = 793.8 ft
Answer: The height of the hill is approximately 794 ft (nearest integer)
