Use the position equation given below, where s represents the height of the object (in feet), v0 represents the initial velocity

of the object (in feet per second), s0 represents the initial height of the object (in feet), and t represents the time (in seconds), as the model for the problem. s = −16t2 + v0t + s0 An aircraft flying at 900 feet over level terrain drops a supply package.
(a) How long does it take until the supply package to strike the ground? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) t = sec

(b) The aircraft is flying at 158 miles per hour. How far does the supply package travel horizontally during its descent? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) ft

Answer:

(a) 7.5 seconds

(b) The horizontal distance the package  travel during its descent is 1737.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The given function for the height of the object is s = -16·t² + v₀·t + s₀

The initial height of the object s₀ = 900 feet

The initial vertical velocity of the object v₀_y = 0 m/s

The time it takes the package to strike the ground is found as follows;

0 = -16·t² + 0×t + 900

900 = 16·t²

t² = 900/16 = 62.25

t = √62.25 = 7.5 seconds

(b) Given that the horizontal velocity of the package is given as 158 miles/hour, we have

158 miles/hour = 231.7126 ft/s

The horizontal distance the package  covers in the 7.5 second of vertical flight = 231.7126 ft/s × 7.5 s = 1737.8445 feet = 1737.8 ft to one decimal place

The horizontal distance the package  travel during its descent = 1737.8 ft.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

P(61≤ X≤94) = 49.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The mean of the bell shaped fluorescent light bulb μ = 61

The standard deviation σ = 11

The objective of this question is to determine the approximate percentage of light bulb replacement requests numbering between 61 and 94 i.e P(61≤ X≤94)

Using the empirical (68-95-99.7)rule ;

At 68% , the data lies between  μ - σ and μ + σ

i.e

61 - 11 and 61 + 11

50 and 72

At  95%, the data lies between  μ - 2σ and μ + 2σ

i.e

61 - 2(11) and 61 + 2(11)

61 - 22 and 61 +22

39   and   83

At 99.7%, the data lies between  μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ

i.e

61 - 3(11) and 61 + 3(11)

61 - 33 and 61 + 33

28   and   94

the probability equivalent to 94 is when  P(28≤ X≤94) =99.7%

This implies that ,

P(28≤ X≤94) + P(61≤ X≤94) = 99.7%

P(28≤ X≤94) = P(61≤ X≤94) = 99.7 %    

This is so because the distribution is symmetric about the mean

P(61≤ X≤94) = 99.7 %/2

P(61≤ X≤94) = 49.85%

The position of an object moving horizontally after t seconds is given by the function s equals 3 t minus t cubed​, for t greate
Anton [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position of an object moving horizontally after t seconds is given by the function

s = 3t - t³

a) The object is stationary when there is no external force acting on the body. When the body is at rest, the body remains in a position and here is no distance covered by the object i.e s = 0

b) velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

v = ds/dt

S = 3t - t³

V = ds/dt = 3-3t²

at t = 2

Velocity = 3-3(2)²

Velocity = 3-12

Velocity = -9m/s

c) acceleration is the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.

acceleration = dv/dt

If v = 3-3t²

a = dv/dt = -6t

When v = 0

0 = 3-3t²

-3 = -3t²

t² = 1

t = ±√1

t = 1sec

The acceleration of the object at v = 0 occurs at t = 1sec and -1sec

a = -6(1)

a = -6m/s²

d) Given the speed of the body v modelled by the function

v = 3-3t²

The speed is decreasing when it is less than zero as shown:

3-3t²< 0

3<3t²

1<t²

±1<t

1<t and -1<t

t>±1

t >1 and t>-1

The speed is decreasing when

3-3t²<0 and t>1 or t>-1
