[M] In a wind tunnel experiment, die force on a projectile due to air resistance was measured at different velocities:
Velocity (100 ft/sec) | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
Force (100 lb) | 0 | 2.90 | 14.8 | 39.6 | 74.3 | 119 |
Find an interpolating polynomial for these data and estimate die force on the projectile when the projectile is traveling at 750 ft/sec. Use p(t) = a0 +a1t + a2t2 + a3t3 + a4t4 + a5t5. What happens if you try to use a polynomial of degree less than 5? (Try a cubic polynomial, for instance.)5

An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardbThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forward
- D Use a linear approximation to estimate v10001.arrow_forwardA researcher is nuning a simulation of an upward rocket to study the upward velocity of the rocket using various fuel consumption rates. The researcher has found that the upward velocity of the rocket can be represented by the following equation, mo v = u In gt Amo-qt. where v=upward velocity of the rocket (m/s), u= the velocity at which fuel is expelled relative to the rocket (m/s), m, = the initial mass of the rocket (kg), q = the fuel consumption rate (kg/s), g = the downward accelemation of gravity (m/s), and t = time taken by the rocket for the whole motion (s). If u = 1,500 m/s, m, = 125,000 kg, q = 2,300 kg/s and g= 9.81 m/s are the values used by the researcher in one of his simulations, estimate the time, t at which v = 680 m/s using False Position method. It is known that the time, t is somewhere between 15 s and 35 s. Perform THREE (3) iterations only and calculate the approximate percent relative error, Ea| for every iteration.arrow_forward
