- Falling Ball Using calculus, it can be shown that if a ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/s from the top of a building 128 ft high, then its height h above the ground t seconds later will be h=128+16t-16t2 During what time interval will the ball be at least 32 ft above the ground?arrow_forwardAir Temperature As dry air moves upward, it expand and, in so doing, cools at a rate of about 1°C for each 100-meter rise, up to about 12 km. (a) If the ground temperature is 20°C, write a formula for the temperature at height h. (b) What range of temperatures can be expected if an air plane lakes off and reaches a maximum height of 5 km?arrow_forwardDrug Concentration When a drug is administered orally, it takes some time before the blood concentration reaches its maximum level. After that time, concentration levels decrease. When 500 milligrams of procainamide is administered orally, one model for a particular patient gives blood concentration C, in milligrams per liter, after t hours as C=2.65(e0.2te2t) What is the maximum blood-level concentration, and when does that level occur?arrow_forward
- The Skydiver Again When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, her downward velocity, n feet per second, before she opens her parachute is given by = 176 1 0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since she jumped from the airplane. We found earlier that the terminal velocity for the skydiver is 176 feet per second. How long does it take for her to reach 90 of terminal velocity?arrow_forwardHeight of a Ball If a ball is thrown directly upward with a velocity of 40 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y=40t16t2 . What is the maximum height attained bythe ball?arrow_forwardPaying Off a Credit Card Suppose you owe 15, 000 on a credit card that carries an APR of 24. Because the balance is so high, you choose to stop charging and pay off the card. You can afford to make only the minimum monthly payment, which is 5 of the balance. Then your balance after t months is given by B=15,000(1.020.95)tdollars. How many payments will you have to make to get the balance below 100?arrow_forward
