Problem 3
When a red blood cell is pumped it moves a distance s (in millimetres), in a given
time, t, (in seconds) described by the following equation:
s = 0.005t2 + vot
In this equation, vo is the initial velocity, in mm s-1. Distance is measured in millimetres
and time is measured in seconds. Use the equation to find how long it takes a red
blood cell to travel a distance of 1000 mm. The cell had an initial velocity of 4 mm s1.
-btV62 -4ac
x =
2a
(quadratic formula)
To use the quadratic formula, the equation needs to be in form at? + bt +c
