If a barrel fell off a cliff that is 50 feet high and it takes 22 minutes for the barrel to hit the ground then how many feet per minutes would that be?
To find the speed at which the barrel is falling, we can divide the height of the cliff (50 feet) by the time it takes for the barrel to hit the ground (22 minutes):
Speed = Height / Time
Speed = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Now, let's calculate the speed in feet per minute:
Speed = 2.27 feet/minute (rounded to two decimal places)
Hence, the barrel falls at approximately 2.27 feet per minute.
A bird is 10 meters and then flights down to a branch 3 meters above the ground. What best represent the rate of change in the bird’s altitude is how many meters per second.
To find the rate of change in the bird's altitude, we need to determine the change in altitude divided by the time it takes.
The bird starts at a height of 10 meters, and then flies down to a branch 3 meters above the ground. So, the change in altitude is 10 meters - 3 meters = 7 meters.
To find the rate of change in meters per second, we need to know the time it takes the bird to fly this distance.
Let's assume that the bird takes 5 seconds to fly from its original height to the branch.
Rate of Change = Change in Altitude / Time
Rate of Change = 7 meters / 5 seconds
Rate of Change ≈ 1.4 meters/second
Therefore, the rate of change in the bird's altitude is approximately 1.4 meters per second.
It said it wasn’t right?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate the rate of change in the bird's altitude.
The bird starts at a height of 10 meters and then flies down to a branch 3 meters above the ground. So, the change in altitude is 10 meters - 3 meters = 7 meters.
To find the rate of change in meters per second, we need to know the time it takes the bird to fly this distance.
Let's assume the bird takes 2 seconds to fly from its original height to the branch.
Rate of Change = Change in Altitude / Time
Rate of Change = 7 meters / 2 seconds
Rate of Change = 3.5 meters/second
Therefore, the rate of change in the bird's altitude is 3.5 meters per second.
Still ain’t right, to help give the answer ti the nearest hundredth and remember the bird is descending.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate the rate of change in the bird's altitude, considering that the bird is descending.
The bird starts at a height of 10 meters and then flies down to a branch 3 meters above the ground. So, the change in altitude is 10 meters - (3 meters + 0 meters) = 7 meters.
To find the rate of change in meters per second, we need to know the time it takes the bird to descend this distance.
Let's assume the bird takes 3 seconds to descend from its original height to the branch.
Rate of Change = Change in Altitude / Time
Rate of Change = 7 meters / 3 seconds
Rate of Change = 2.33 meters/second
Therefore, the rate of change in the bird's altitude is approximately 2.33 meters per second, rounded to two decimal places.
