A rocket leaves the surface of Earth at time t=0 and travels straight up from the surface. The height, in feet, of the rocket ab

ove the surface of Earth is given by y(t), where t is measured in seconds for 0≤t≤600. Values of y(t) for selected values of t are given in the table above. Of the following values of t, at which value would the speed of the rocket most likely be greatest based on the data in the table?
(1) t=100

(2) t=200

(3)t=300

(4) t=400

Answer:

Keep in mind:

Speed equals distance divided by time.

Next, we can calculate the average speed for different intervals.

Let's define a model in which the average speed at a specific time t = t0 can be calculated as:

AS(t0) = (y(b) - y(a))/(b - a)

Here, b represents the subsequent t0 value, and a is the earlier one. The mid-point in this segment is t0.

Therefore:

If t0 is set at 100 seconds:

AS(100s) = (400ft - 0ft)/(200s - 0s) = 2ft/s.

If t0 is at 200 seconds:

AS(200s) = (1360ft - 50ft)/(300s - 100s) = 6.55 ft/s.

If t0 is at 300 seconds:

AS(300s) = (3200ft - 400ft)/(400s - 200s) = 14ft/s.

If t0 is at 400 seconds:

AS(400s) = (6250s - 1360s)/(500s - 300s) = 24.45 ft/s.

This implies for one of the options, t = 400s has the highest speed.

This makes sense, as while the timing differences remain uniform at 100 seconds, the variances in the height values are increasing.

Thus, we can determine that the rocket is ascending with greater acceleration, leading to a higher average speed as time progresses.

Which shows the factored form of x2 – 12x – 45?
AnnZ [12381]
Hello!

(x+a)·(x+b) equals x²+xa+xb+ab which simplifies to x²-12x-45

x² equals x²
xa+xb can be expressed as (a+b)x = -12x thus, (a+b) = -12
ab equals -45

Under what conditions do (a+b) equal -12 and ab equal -45?

+3-15 results in -12 while (+3)(-15) gives -45
-3-15 yields -18 and (-3)(-15) results in +45
+3+15 produces +18 and (+3)(+15) also equal to +45
-3+15 equals +12 and (-3+15) results in -45

Conclusion:

(x+3)(x-15)

The measure of central angle QRS is StartFraction 8 pi Over 9 EndFraction radians. What is the area of the shaded sector? 36Pi u
babunello [11817]

The illustration is omitted. Please see the attachment below.

Answer:

The area of the shaded sector is 144π square units.

Step-by-step breakdown:

Given:

The central angle for the sector is, \theta=\frac{8\pi}{9}\ rad

The circle's radius is, R=18\ units

The area of a sector with radius 'R' and angle \theta can be determined with:

A=\frac{1}{2}R^2\theta

Substituting \theta=\frac{8\pi}{9},R=18 gives

A=\frac{1}{2}\times (18)^2\times \frac{8\pi}{9}\\\\A=(\frac{324\times 4}{9})\pi\\\\A=(36\times 4)\pi\\\\A=144\pi\ units^2

Thus, the area of the shaded sector calculates to 144π square units.

Svet_ta [12734]

Response:

The Work In Progress (WIP) limit is set at 0.50 days.

Detailed explanation:

Calculating WIP limits:

first, it is essential to determine the efficiency of the process and procedure, which can be calculated as follows:

Value Added Time = 12 days (arrival time)

Non-Value-Added Time = 12 days (departure time)

Efficiency = Value Added / (Value Added + Non-Value Added)

                = 12 / (12+12)

                = 12 / 24

               = 0.50 or 50%

the minimum required throughput time is 0.25 days to achieve the maximum profits

WIP limit = Throughput time / Efficiency

               = 0.25 / 50%

               = 0.50 days.

The WIP limit is 0.50 days.
