- If a coffee filter is dropped, its velocity after t seconds is given by v(t)=4(10.0003t) feet per second. What is the terminal velocity, and how long does it take the filter to reach 99 of terminal velocity? Use a table increment of 0.1 and given your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.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_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forward
- Find the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meter if I0=14 and k=0.7. Round to two decimals.arrow_forwardThe population of a city is modeled by the equation P(t)=256,114e0.25t where t is measured in years. Ifthe city continues to grow at this rate, haw manyyears will it take for the population to reach onemillion?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
