NBA basketball legend Michael Jordan had a 48-in. vertical leap. Suppose that Michael jumped from ground level with an initial velocity of 16 ft/sec.
a. Write a model to express Michael’s height (in ft) above ground level t seconds after leaving the ground.
b. Use the model from part (a) to determine how long it would take Michael to reach his maximum height of 48 in.

- The population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardThe height (in meters) of a projectile shit vertically upward from a point 4 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 22.5 m/s is h=4+22.4t-4.9t^2 after t seconds. (Round answer to two decimal places)arrow_forwardThe population of the world in 2015 was 9.75 billion people and was growing at a rate of 1.25% per year. From the model P=9.75(1.0125)t, approximately when will the population of the world be 11.25 billion peoplearrow_forward
- The brakes of a car are applied when it is moving at 100km/h and provide a constant deceleration of 10 meters per second per second (m/s2). How far does the car travel before coming to a stop?arrow_forwardAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the United States in 2008 was 304 million people. In addition, the population of the United States was growing at a rate of 1.1% per year. Assuming this growth rate is continues, the modelP(t)=304⋅(1.011)t−2008P(t)=304⋅(1.011)t-2008represents the population PP (in millions of people) in year tt. According to the model, when will the population be 500 million people? Be sure to round your answer to the nearest whole year.arrow_forwardA particle moves along a line so that its velocity is given by v(t)=−t^3+2t^2+2^(−t) t≥0. For what values of t is the speed of the particle increasing?arrow_forward
- Can someone please explain it to me ASAP?!!! For the part a I said 0,2 but its wrong what should be? This is velocity and net changesarrow_forwardA medium-sized banana provides about 105 Calories of energy. (a)Convert 105 Cal to joules. J (b)Suppose that amount of energy is transformed into kinetic energy of a 2.23 kg object initially at rest. Calculate the final speed of the object (in m/s). m/s (c)If that same amount of energy is added to 3.79 kg (about 1 gal) of water at 17.7°C, what is the water's final temperature (in °C)? The specific heat of water is c = 4186 J (kg · °C) . °Carrow_forward
