PLEASe someone help me with cal problem!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 44 ft/s2. What is the distance covered before the car comes to a stop? (Give your answers correct to one decimal place.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please!! help me....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for taking a look...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

55 = 220/3ft/s therefore speed = 220/3 - 44t ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then anti-derivative?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gimmie a second. Im trying to remember how to do this =p. I havnt done a problem like this in awhile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem.... take your time.. I just want to understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe you can do V^2/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

velocity 1=50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right because the car is stopping...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh initial velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

velocity 2 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

acceleration is -44ft/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1250-44t?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm. I think you can use a different equation. Let me google it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v^2 - u^2 = 2 A S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are trying to do this with calculus Im thinking of this more as phyisics lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea... it would be easier as physics im sure. is that the correct formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>.< I dont think Im much help to you.... I cant remember how to do this. =(. There are several people here who can do this in about 5 seconds but they are not online atm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5280 / 3600 = 1.46666667 1.46666667*50=73.333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats in feet per second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about using this... initial velocity is 50 mi/h, and acceleration is -44ft/s^2, d = ?. An equation to use would be Vf^2=Vi + 2ad.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 = 50 * 2 * -44 * d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I found your answer via google >.> but it was done with physics instead of calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what was the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im so sorry. Im not any help to you. Its pretty sad. Ive passed calculus 2 and I cant even remember how to do this problem. I need to brush up lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its got to be around 63 or 64...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

61.1 ft

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh... my luck this is going to be on the test....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is your test?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When?! Monday after thanksgiving break.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ewww

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea... whats your major?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

computer science lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is an integration problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50mi/h*hr/60min*min/60s*5280ft/mi v(0)=73.3ft/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought something like that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a(t)=-42 v(t)=-42t+73.3 0=-42t+73.3 42t=73.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t=73.3/42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

grrr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

44

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will you do something for me real quick... my graphing calculator is messed up can you put in -9+ - square root 81 (4*4.97*-300) all over 2*4.97

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol sure. Let me get it out of my car lol brb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81 MINUS the ()

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait is this a quadratic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its another problem...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A stone is dropped from the top of a 300 m tower. (Acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s2. Ignore air resistance. Give your answers correct to two decimal places.) (d) If the stone is thrown downward with a speed of 9 m/s, how long does it take to reach the ground?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-9\pm \sqrt{81-4*4.97*-300}\over2*4.97\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good thing im taking physics next semester. 0=4.97t^2 +9t-300

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did I input the equation right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm I got an imaginary number!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.97=a 9=b 300=c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok make sure you put (4*4.97*-300)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using those gave me imagnary numer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-300!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have ten minutes...hurry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm okay x1 gave me 6.92 and x2 gave me -8.73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yaya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

crap it was wrong :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o well! thanks for your help!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol I wasnt any help. I feel bad.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to go back yo calculus one lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No not really. I should remember how to that kind of problem. =(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to hang my self now =(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its been what two years for you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 semesters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I took calc one took calculus two and now Im in matrix theory.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I took a semester off over summer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you dont take cal3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cant take calculus 3 till Ive taken differential equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i was just wondering... wait wow i cant diff q until after cal 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cant take

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you in now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cal 1 but honestly I'm taking it to make a better grade, I made a C the first time around, so trying again to replace it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cal 2 next sem, then cal 3 during the summer, diff q in the fall then BREATHER on MATH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool my states curriculum follow calc 1 calc 2 Matrix Theory or Differential Equations calc 3 those are the core classes then major choices of math courses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha you have more math after that! Wow, thats crazy!
