Motion with gravity Consider the following descriptions of the vertical motion of an object subject only to the acceleration due to gravity. Begin with the acceleration equation a(t) = v′ (t) = –g, where g = 9.8 m/s2.
a. Find the velocity of the object for all relevant times.
b. Find the position of the object for all relevant times.
c. Find the time when the object reaches its highest point. What is the height?
d. Find the time when the object strikes the ground.

- 10) The Hurricane Hunters took the following measurements from a hurricane over They found that the air pressure and wind speed are related in the following way: y=-1.11x+1140 where x is the air pressure in millibars (kPa) and y is the maximum sustained wind speed in knots (nautical miles per hour). several days as it developed: Air Pressure (kPa) Wind Speed (knots) 924 129 933 110 946 67.3 140 958 86 120 991 41.3 100 1,002 35.7 車 920 910 Air Pressure (kPa) a) What does the y-intercept of this function represent? b) Using the model, what would be the wind speed of a hurricane with an air pressure of 969 kPa? Round your answer to the nearest knot. Wind Speed (knots)arrow_forwardThe maximum voltage in a simple generator is V. The changing voltage v as the coil rotates is given by v = V sin(x). The figure below is the graph of this equation for two complete revolutions of the coil when V = 38V. The x y-coordinate plane is given. The curve begins at the origin, goes up and right, passes through the approximate point (45°, 26.9), changes direction at the point (90°, 38), goes down and right, passes through the approximate point (135°, 26.9), crosses the x-axis at x = 180°, passes through the approximate point (225°, −26.9), changes direction at the point (270°, −38), goes up and right, passes through the approximate point (295°, −34.4), crosses the x-axis at x = 360°, changes direction at the point (450°, 38), goes down and right, crosses the x-axis at x = 540°, changes direction at the point (630°, −38), goes up and right, and ends at the point (720°, 0). Estimate the value of v (in V) at x = 45° and x = 295°. (Round your answers the nearest integer.)arrow_forward45° F 45. Velocity An airplane is flying in the direction 25° west of north at 800 km/h. Find the component form of the velocity of the air- plane, assuming that the positive x-axis represents due east and the positive y-axis represents due north. 46. Velocity An airplane is flying in the direction 10° east of south at 600 km/h. Find the component form of the velocity of the air- plane, assuming that the positive x-axis represents due east and the positive y-axis represents due north. 47. Location A bird flies from its nest 5 km in the direction 60° north of east, where it stops to rest on a tree. It then flies 10 km in the direction due southeast and lands atop a telephone pole. Place an xy-coordinate system so that the origin is the bird's nest, the x-axis points east, and the y-axis points north. a. At what point is the tree located? b. At what point is the telephone pole? 48. Use similar triangles to find the coordinates of the point Q that di- vides the segment from P1(x1, ı, z1)…arrow_forward
