- (2 – t²) e&-t° dt еarrow_forwardA hollow steel ball weighing 4 pounds is suspended from a spring. This stretches the spring feet. The ball is started in motion from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 3 feet per second. The air resistance (in pounds) of the moving ball numerically equals 4 times its velocity (in feet per second). Suppose that after t seconds the ball is y feet below its rest position. Find y in terms of t. (Note that the positive direction is down.) Take as the gravitational acceleration 32 feet per second per second. y = Hint: e^(-16t)(((1/(2sqrt(2))*e^(8sqrt(2)t)-(1/(2sqrt(2))*e^(-8sqrt(2)t))arrow_forwardPls. show complete solution and right answer.

- A fire ant, searching for hot sauce in a picnic area, goes through three displacements along level ground: d→1 for 0.41 m southwest (that is, at 45° from directly south and from directly west), d→2 for 0.52 m due east, and d→3 for 0.77 m at 60° north of east. Let the positive x direction be east and the positive y direction be north. What are (a) the x component and (b) the y component of d→1? What are (c) the x component and (d) the y component of d→2? What are (e) the x component and (f) the y component of d→3? What are (g) the x component and (h) the y component, (i) the magnitude, and (j) the direction of the ant's net displacement? If the ant is to return directly to the starting point, (k) how far and (l) in what direction should it move? Give all angles as positive (counterclockwise) angles relative to the +x-axis.arrow_forwardFind the speed at the given value of t. r(t) = (sin(3t), cos(6t), cos(7t)), t = " 2. IIarrow_forward
