(a).
To calculate: The formula for the instantaneous rate of change of the balloon.
(a).
Answer to Problem 71E
The formula of instantaneous rate of change of the balloon is
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The displacement s,
Formula used:
Differentiate the equation of displacement ( s ) with respect to
Calculation:
Hence, the equation of rate change of the balloon is
(b).
To calculate: Average rate of change of the balloon after the first three seconds.
(b).
Answer to Problem 71E
The average speed is 16 feet per second.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The displacement s,
Formula used:
Calculation:
Total distance after three second:
Total time, when
Therefore,
Hence, total time,
Therefore,
Hence, the average speed after three second is 16 feet per second.
(c).
To calculate: Time in second at which the balloon reaches its maximum height.
(c).
Answer to Problem 71E
Balloon reaches maximum height at
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The displacement s,
The given equation is similar as
Now,
Hence,
Formula used:
Calculation:
Put, the value of a and b , we get
Hence, at
(d).
To calculate: The velocity of the balloon as it hit the ground.
(d).
Answer to Problem 71E
The velocity of the balloon as it hit the ground is − 96 feet per second.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The displacement s,
Ball will impact the ground, when
Therefore,
Calculation:
Hence,
Formula used:
Differentiate the equation of displacement ( s ) with respect to
Put,
Hence, velocity at time of impact is − 96 feet per second.
(e).
To draw: a graph to verify the result of parts (a) and (b)
(e).
Answer to Problem 71E
The required graph:
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The displacement s,
The above
Therefore, it takes 5 seconds of the object to hit the ground after it has been thrown upward. The graphical meaning to the answers to parts a and d are shown below.
If
then,
Calculation:
Hence,
It means the height of the ball from the ground just before throwing, since the initial is 80 feet.
