Suppose you were to drop a stone down a well. A falling object obeys the equation s=16(t1)2 , where s is the distance fallen in feet and t is the time in seconds. Sound waves travel at a speed of about 1100 ft/sec, and the time it takes to travel a distance s is t2=s1100 . The total time it takes for you to hear the stone hit the water below equals the time it spent falling plus the time it takes the sound to reach your ear. What is the distance to the water's surface in the well if you hear the stone hit the water 4 seconds after dropping the stone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

228.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total time, t it takes for you to hear the stone hit the water below equals the time it spent falling, t1 plus the time it takes the sound to reach your ear t2.

Given that t = 4s and t = t1 + t2.

So t1 + t2 = 4  (1)

Also s = 16(t1)² and t2 = s/1100

Thus t2 = 16(t1)²/1000

From (1), t2 = 4 - t1

So 4 - t1 = 0.016(t1)²

0.016(t1)² + t1 - 4 = 0

(t1)² + 62.5t1 - 250 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find t1,

[tex]t1 = \frac{-1 +/- \sqrt{1^{2} - 4 X -4 X 0.016} }{2 X 0.016}\\t1 = \frac{-1 +/- \sqrt{1 + 0.256} }{0.032} \\t1 = \frac{-1 +/- \sqrt{1.256} }{0.032} \\t1 = \frac{-1 +/- {1.121} }{0.032} \\t1 = \frac{-1 + 1.121 }{0.032} or t1 = \frac{-1 - 1.121 }{0.032}\\t1 = 0.121/0.032 or -2.121/0.032\\t1 = 3.78 s or -66.28 s[/tex]

Since t1 cannot be negative, t1 = 3.78 s

So, s = 16(t1)²

= 16(3.78)²

= 16(14.29)

= 228.64 ft

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{3}{50r}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is being pumped into an inflated rubber sphere at a constant rate of 0.03 cubic meters per second.

So, dV/dt = 0.03.

We want to show that dS/dt is directly proportional to 1/r.

In other words, we want to establish the relationship that dS/dt  = k(1/r), where k is some constant.

First, the volume of a sphere V is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

Next, the surface area of a sphere S is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle S=4\pi r^2[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

We can divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\frac{dS}{dt}=4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

We can substitute this into dV/dt. Rewriting:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=r\Big(4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}\Big)[/tex]

So:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}r\frac{dS}{dt}[/tex]

Since dV/dt = 0.03 or 3/100:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3}{100}=\frac{1}{2}r\frac{dS}{dt}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dS}{dt}=\frac{3}{50r}=\frac{3}{50}\Big(\frac{1}{r}\Big)[/tex]

Where k = 3/50.

And we have shown that dS/dt is directly proportional to 1/r.

A total of 15 people on a sports team are riding in 3 vans. How many people are riding in each van if each van is carrying the same number of people?

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

So your total is 15. There are 3 vans, and we want to know how many are on each van.

3 (number of people on each van)=15

Number of people are unknown

3x=15

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x

The distance traveled can be calculated using the formula D = s · t where s is the speed and t is the total time. Which of the situations below represent a total distance of 400 km? Select all that apply.

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]D = s.t[/tex]

Required

Which represents 400km

This question requires options. Since none were given, I will answer on a general term.

Situation 1:

s = 20km/h and t = 20h

[tex]D = s.t[/tex]

[tex]D = 20km/h * 20h[/tex]

[tex]D = 400km[/tex]

Situation 2:

s = 10km/h and t = 40h

[tex]D = s.t[/tex]

[tex]D = 10km/h * 40h[/tex]

[tex]D = 400km[/tex]

Situation 3:

s = 40km/h and t = 10h

[tex]D = s.t[/tex]

[tex]D = 40km/h * 10h[/tex]

[tex]D = 400km[/tex]

So, all you literally have to do is multiply the values of s and t. If the product gives 400, then; that situation is D = 400

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The credit card company raised her APR from 14% to 15.2%.

Her average daily balance this month is x dollars.

We need to find the algebraically the increase in this month's finance charge due to the higher APR. It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]y=x\times \dfrac{12\%}{14}-x\times \dfrac{15.2\%}{14}\\\\=x\times \dfrac{12}{1400}-x\times \dfrac{15.2}{1400}\\\\=-0.0022x[/tex]

So, the required increase in the month's finance is 0.0022x.

Answer

6 months / the $30 ($5 per month) will be cheaper

Answer:

1) Six months

2) The second plan ($30 sign up fee, $5 per month)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Six months

We can write an equation such as 30 + 5m = x, where m = months and x = total cost after a certain amount of months. If we know that the first plan costs $12 a month, we can find the LCM of 12 and 30 + 5m, which is 60. If we plug in 60 as m in the equation I showed, we'll get this:

30 + 5m = 60

Solve for x = 6.

2) The second plan

Write the first plan as an equation 12m = x, where m is months and x is the total cost after a certain amount of months. If we plug in 12 for m (since there's 12 months in a year), we'll get 12(12) = x, where x is equal to $144 after a year.

Write the second plan as an equation 30 + 5m = x, where m is months and x is the total cost after m months. Plug in 12 again so our equation looks like

30 + 5(12) = x. Solve for x and get $90 after a year.
