- When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, his downward velocity, in feet per second, before he opens his parachute is given by v = 176(1 − 0.834t ), where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since he jumped from the airplane. What is the velocity after 6 seconds? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ft/sarrow_forwardA runner runs in a straight line and their distance traveled at time t is given by the formula d(t)=3t-0.05t2, where distance is in feet and t is in minutes. Find the runners' average speed during the 2-minute interval beginning at time t=1. ANSWER: ________ feet per minute If rounding is necessary, round to two digits after the decimal.arrow_forward
