The total distance [mi] a jetliner cruising at a constant speed has traveled is recorded every 15 minutes, beginning at 30 minutes, and the following values tabulated:
At what time (in hours) will the distance traveled reach 2500 miles? All calculations must be done in MATLAB. Remember that total distance traveled by an object moving at a constant speed is d = do + vt.

Question : A 550 kilogram mass initially at rest acted upon by a force of F(t) = 50et Newtons. What are the acceleration, speed, and displacement of the mass at t = 4 second ?
a =(50 e^t)/(550 ) [N/kg]
v = ∫_0^t▒(50 e^t )dt/(550 )= v_0 +(50 e^t-50)/550=((e^t- 1))/11
x = ∫_0^t▒(e^t- 1)dt/(11 )= x_0 +(e^t- t - 1)/(11 )
a(4s)=(50*54.6)/550= 4.96[m/s^2 ]
v(4s)=((e^4-1))/11= 4.87[m/s]
x(4s)=((e^4- 4 - 1))/11= 4.51 [m]

In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs. Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs. The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?arrow_forwardSuppose you're converting a bill of materials for machining feedstock from the British gravitational (U.S. system) of units to International System (SI) units.

To convert to these values to kilograms you first you divide by gravitational acceleration in feet per second squared to get a mass in slugs, then convert slugs to kilograms using standard conversion factors.
