- Ben starts walking along a path at 4 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 6 mi/h. How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardAn arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forward
- Sand falls from an overhead bin and accumulates in a conical pile with a radius that is always four times its height. Suppose the height of the pile increases at a rate of 1 cm/s when the pile is 13 cm high. At what rate is the sand leaving the bin at that instant? Let V and h be the volume and height of the cone, respectively. Write an equation that relates V and h and does not include the radius of the cone. (Type an exact answer, using n as needed.) Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to t. dV dh %3D dt dt (Type an exact answer, using n as needed.) The sand is leaving the bin at a rate of (Type an exact answer, using a as needed.)arrow_forwardcomplete) A rock thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of 4 m/sec reaches a height of s= 4t-0.8t meters in t sec. a.
