- Ballistics experts are able to identify the weapon that fired a certain bullet by studying the markings on the bullet after it is fired. They test the gun's rifling (the grooves in the bullet as it travels down the barrel of the gun) by comparing it to that of a second bullet fired into a bale of paper. The speed, s, in centimeters per second, that the bullet travels through the paper is given by s=50(3-10t), where t is the time after the bullet strikes the bale and ts0.3 second. (a) Complete the following table to find the speed for the given values of t. 0.1 0.2 0.3 s (cm/sec) (Type an integer or a decimal.)arrow_forwardfarctar(7.x) dxarrow_forwardWhen rewriting y = 2x + 1 in function notation, what do you replace with f(x)?
