Algebra.Com's Answer #235499 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a gun is fired straight upward. the bullet leaves the gun at 100 feet per second (time t=0) after 2 seconds the velocity of the bullet is 36 feet per second there is a linear equation that gives the velocity v in terms of the time t. \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "You have two points relating time and velocity: \n" ); document.write( "(0,100) and (2,36) \n" ); document.write( "slope = (36-100)/(2-0) = -32 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "intercept = 100 \n" ); document.write( "--------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "velocity = -32(time) + 100 \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Find the velocity after 3 seconds. \n" ); document.write( "v(3) = -32(3) + 100 \n" ); document.write( "v(3) = -96+100 \n" ); document.write( "v(3) = 4 ft/sec \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "cheers, \n" ); document.write( "stan H. \n" ); document.write( "============== \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
