- A Skydiver When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, his downward velocity, in feet per second, before he opens his parachute, is given by v=1761-0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since he jumped from the airplane. What is the velocity after 5 seconds?arrow_forwardbThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardC An object travels with velocity function given by v (t) = 3t + 5. The next three questions refer to this object.arrow_forward
- Police investigating traffic accidents use the fact that the speed, in miles per hour, of a car traveling on an asphalt road can be determined by the length of the skid marks left by the car after sudden braking. The speed can be modeled by s = V 30fd, where s is the speed of the car in miles per hour, fis the coefficient of friction for the road, and d is the length in feet of the skid marks. Find the speed of a car if it leaves skid marks 130 feet long on an asphalt road with a coefficient of friction equal to 0.456. (Include units in your answer. More information. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) The speed of the car is approximatelyarrow_forwardAn object moves in such a way that its displacement s (in metres) as a function of time t (in seconds) is given by the equation of this object at Determine the acceleration s(t) = 2t - 9t +7t-1 seconds. t= 2 3 m/sec O 6 m/sec O 4 m/sec O 2 m/secarrow_forwardA cup of water at an initial temperature of 81°C is placed in a room at a constant temperature of 24°C. The temperature of the water is measured every 5 minutes during a half-hour period. The results are recorded as ordered pairs of the form (t, T), where t is the time (in minutes) and T is the temperature (in degrees Celsius). (0, 81.0°), (5, 69.0°), (10, 60.5°), (15, 54.2°), (20, 49.3°), (25, 45.4°), (30, 42.6°) (a) Subtract the room temperature from each of the temperatures in the ordered pairs. Use a graphing utility to plot the data points (t, T) and (t, T − 24). (b) An exponential model for the data (t, T − 24) is T − 24 = 54.4(0.964)t. Solve for T and graph the model. Compare the result with the plot of the original data. (c) Use a graphing utility to plot the points (t, ln(T − 24)) and observe that the points appear to be linear. Use the regression feature of the graphing utility to fit a line to these data. This resulting line has the form ln(T − 24) = at + b, which is…arrow_forward
