- 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_forwardThe acceleration of an object moving along a vertical path is given by a(t) = 12 - 7 cost meters per square second. (a) If the object started its motion by moving upward from 9 meters above the origin with a speed of 7 meters per second, what is the object's position function? (b) Use differentials to approximate the change in acceleration from t = 3 seconds to t = seconds. 15x+2 10arrow_forwardSuppose that a 6-foot tall person is 12 feet away from an18-foot tall lampost. (a) use similar triangles to find a relationship between x and z (b) If the person is moving away from that lampost at the rate of 2ft/sec, at what rate is the length of the shadow changing?arrow_forward
- Find the equation of the line tangent to y = sin(x) going through 4arrow_forwardA kite flies horizontally at an altitude of 20 m while unwinding the rope. Then, the angle that his rope makes with the horizon decreases. We want to determine at what rate this angle decreases when 50 m of rope were unwound knowing that at this moment the horizontal speed of the kite is 1m/s. To solve this problem, we denote by 0 the angle in radians that the chord makes with the horizontal, x the horizontal position in meters of the kite from its attachment to the ground, and t the time in seconds. It is also assumed that the rope is straight and well stretched. (a) Draw a picture and use it to express 0 as a function of x.(rad) (b) What is x at the time in question? Give the exact value.(m) c) What is de/dt at the same time? Give its exact value, paying careful attention to the sign.(rad/s)arrow_forwardA ladder of length 8 meters leaning against a wall starts to slide. If its upper end slides down the wall at a rate of 0.25 m/s, at what rate is the angle between the ladder and the ground decreasing when the foot of the ladder is 5 m from the wall? Enter your answer to two decimal places in radians/sec. An example of how to enter your answer is 0.37arrow_forward
