- 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_forwardFaIIing-Body Problems Suppose an object ¡s dropped from a height h0 above the ground. Then its height after t second is given by h=16t2+ h0 , where h ¡s measured in feet. Use this information to solve the problem. A ball is dropped from the top of a building 96 ft tall. How long will it take to fall half the distance to ground level? How long will it take to fall to ground level?arrow_forwardBuilding a Quonset Hut Quonset huts were developed during World War II. They were temporary housing structures that could be assembled quickly and easily. A Quonset hut is shaped like a half cylinder. A manufacturer has 600square feet of material with which to build a Quonset hut. (a) The formula for the surface area of half a cylinder is S=r2+rl,where ris the radius and lis the length of the hut. Solve this equation for lwhen S=600. (b) The formula for the volume of the hut is V=12r2l. Write the volume Vof the Quonset hut as a polynomial function of r. (c) Use the function you wrote in part (b) to find the maximum volume of a Quonset hut with a surface area of 600square feet. What are the dimensions of the hut?arrow_forward
- Maximum Profit The profit P (in hundreds of dollars) that a company makes depends on the amount x (in hundreds of dollars) the company spends on advertising according to the model P=230+20x0.5x2. What expenditure for advertising yields a maximum profit?arrow_forwardFalling-Body Problems Suppose an object t dropped from a height h0 above the ground. Then its height after t seconds is given by h=16t2+h0 , where h ¡s measured in feet. Use this information Lo solve the problem. If a ball is dropped from 288 ft above the ground, how bug does it take to reach ground level?arrow_forwardGas Mileage The distance d, in miles, that you can travel without stopping for gas depends on the number of gallons g of gasoline in your tank and the gas mileage m, in miles per gallon, that your car gets. The relationship is d=gm. 2.5 a. How far can you drive if you have 12 gallons of gas in your tank and your car gets 24 miles per gallon? b. Solve Equation 2.5 for m. i. Explain in everyday terms what this new equation means. ii. Use this equation to determine the gas mileage of your car if you can drive 335 miles on a full 13-gallon tank of gas. c. A Detroit engineer wants to be sure that the car she is designing can go 425 miles on a full tank of gas, and she must design a gas tank to ensure that. She does not yet know what gas mileage this new-model car will get, and so she decides to make a graph of the size of the gas tank as a function of gas mileage. i. Solve Equation 2.5 for g using 425 for the distance. ii. Make the graph that the engineer made. Is it a straight line?arrow_forward

At what time do they pass each other on the road?arrow_forwardMixing solutions A chemist has two solutions; one has a 20 concentration and the other a 45 concentration. How many liters of each must she mix to obtain 10 liters of 30 concentration?arrow_forward
