Concept explainers
If a rock is thrown upward on the planet Mars with a velocity of 10 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by H = 10t – 1.86t2.
(a) Find the velocity of the rock after one second.
(b) Find the velocity of the rock when t = a.
(c) When will the rock hit the surface?
(d) With what velocity will the rock hit the surface?

- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardIf you travel 100 miles in two hours, then your average speed for the trip is Average speed=_________=________arrow_forwardAn arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forward
- Ben starts walking along a path at 4 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 6 mi/h. How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?arrow_forwardSolve for x: z=x.arrow_forwardFind the unknown value. 27. y varies jointly with x and the cube root of 2. If when x=2 and z=27,y=12, find y if x=5 and z=8.arrow_forward
