A Based on observations, the speed of a jogger can be approximated by the relation v = 6.4 (1 − 0.03x)0.4 , where v and x are expressed in mi/h and miles, respectively. Knowing that x = 0 at t = 0, determine (a) the distance the jogger has run when t =1.5 h, (b) the jogger’s acceleration in ft/s2 at t = 0, (c) the time required for the jogger to run 5 mi.

Question

A Based on observations, the speed of a jogger can be approximated by the
relation v = 6.4 (1 − 0.03x)0.4 , where v and x are expressed in mi/h and miles,
respectively. Knowing that x = 0 at t = 0, determine (a) the distance the jogger has
run when t =1.5 h, (b) the jogger’s acceleration in ft/s2 at t = 0, (c) the time required
for the jogger to run 5 mi. 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

v = 6.4×(1-0.03x)0.4 (note: the given data format is corrected accordingly)

x = 0 when t=0.
