Round your answer to at least one decimal place if needed.
Velocity. Suppose the distance travelled by a tanker ship departing from port is given implicitly by the equation
2-4st-75³-0
Where s is the distance in kilometres and it is time in seconds (s). Use implicit differentiation to calculate the velocity of the ship when s= 40 and 14 seconds.
Note: Enter your solution as a decimal rounded to four (4) decimal places without units.
Seawater can be purified by distillation into potable water. If it costs 15 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, what is the cost of energy to produce 100.0 gallons of drinking water at 100.0 ˚C if the seawater starts at 25.00 ˚C? (1 watt × 1 second = 1 joule). Enter your answer to the nearest penny.

- Q1. 1) The missile at point A takes off from rest and rises vertically to point B after 6.7 seconds, where its fuel runs out. During this time the acceleration of the missile is a = (C.t) m/s², where C = 3.4 is a constant and tis time in s. (Hint, this expression of acceleration already takes into consideration of gravity.) Then by internal controls the missile tilts to an angle = 40° as shown, while keeping the speed, vg, it has attained, and from there it travels in free flight until it lands on the ground at point D. Determine the missile's height he (in m) at point B. Your answer must include 1 place after the decimal point. Take g = 9.81 m/s².

By drawing lines that pass through points B and C which are perpendicular to their velocities (the red lines in the figure above) we can locate the IC at the intersection (the star). Now we can use some basic trig to figure out the distance TB/Ic labeled in the figure, which is the radial distance from the IC to point B. I've drawn in a green dashed line that creates two right triangles to help with the trig. What is the distance TB/IC?
