Looking Up The constant g32feetpersecondpersecond is the downward acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the Earth. If we stand on the surface of the Earth and locate objects using their distance up from the ground, then the positive direction is up, so down is the negative direction. With this perspective, the equation of change in velocity for a freely falling object would be expressed as dVdt=g. We measure upward velocity V in feet per second and time t in seconds. Consider a rock tossed upward from the surface of the Earth with an initial velocity of 40feetpersecond upward. a. Use a formula to express the velocity VV(t) as a linear function. Hint: You get the slope of V from the equation of change. The vertical intercept is the initial value. b. How many seconds after the toss does the rock reach the peak of its flight? Hint: What is the velocity of the rock when it reaches its peak? c. How many seconds after the toss does the rock strike the ground? Hint: How aces me time it takes for the rock to rise to its peak compare with the time it takes for it to fall hack to the ground?arrow_forward

A bore is a surge of water much like what would be expected if a dam failed suddenly and emptied a reservoir in to a river bed. In the case of a bore travelling from the ocean into a dry river bed, one study shows that the velocity V of the tip of the bore is proportional to the square root of its height h. Expressed in a formula, this is V=kh0.5, where k is a constant. a.A bore travels up a dry river bed. How does the velocity of the tip compare with its initial velocity when its height is reduced to half of its initial height? b.How does the height of the bore compare with its initial height when the velocity of the tip is reduced to half of its initial velocity? c.If the tip of one bore surging up a dry river bed is three times the height of another, how do their velocities compare?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answer to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

Surveying Vertical CurvesWhen a road is being built, it usually has straight sections, all with the same grade, that must be linked to each other by curves. By this we mean curves up and down rather than side to side, which would be another matter. Its important that as the road changes from one grade to another, the rate of change of grade between the two be constant. The curve linking one grade to another grade is called a vertical curve. Surveyors mark distances by means of stations that are 100feet apart. To link a straight grade of g1 to a straight grade of g2, the elevations of the stations are given by y=g2g12Lx2+g1x+Eg1L2. Here y is the elevation of the vertical curve in feet, g1 and g2 are percents, L is the length of the vertical curve in hundreds of feet, x is the number of the station, and E is the elevation in feet of the intersection where the two grades would meet.See Figure 5.72. The station x=0 is the very beginning of the vertical curve, so the station x=0 lies where the straight section with grade g1 meets the vertical curve. The last station of the vertical curve is x=L, which lies where the vertical curve meets the straight section with grade g2. Figure 5.72 Assume that the vertical curve you want to design goes over a slight rise, joining a straight section of grade 1.35 to a straight section of grade 1.75. Assume that the length of the curve is to be 500feet so L=5 and that the elevation of the intersection is 1040.63feet. a.What is the equation for the vertical curve described above? Dont round the coefficients. b.What are the elevations of the stations for the vertical curve? c.Where is the highest point of the road on the vertical curve? Give the distance along the vertical curve and the elevation.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
