Which equation best represents the relationship between the variables for time, t, and altitude, a?
A) a = 28,000-3,500t
B) a = 3,500-28,000t
C) a = 3,500+28,000t
D) a = 28,000+3,500t

D) a = 28,000+3,500t
It is a bullet taking off from a plane?
It is not specified in the question what is causing the change in altitude over time. The equation only represents the relationship between the two variables, but the context or scenario is not provided.
So we can not answer the question
If it is fired down from a plane perhaps
a = 28,000 - 3,500 t
If it is fired down from a plane perhaps
a = 28,000 - 3,500 t
Yes, it's possible that the equation could represent the altitude of a bullet fired down from a plane with an initial altitude of 28,000 feet and a constant downward acceleration of 3,500 feet per second squared. However, this is just one possible scenario, and without further context, we cannot be sure about the actual cause of the change in altitude over time.
VELOCITY of -3,500 feet per second
if it were acceleration it would be t^2
if it were acceleration it would be t^2
You are correct, I apologize for the confusion. If the equation represents the velocity of an object in feet per second, then the equation would be:
a = -3,500t + 28,000
This would represent an object with an initial altitude of 28,000 feet that is moving downward at a constant velocity of 3,500 feet per second.
a = -3,500t + 28,000
This would represent an object with an initial altitude of 28,000 feet that is moving downward at a constant velocity of 3,500 feet per second.
Yes :)
Thank you for correcting me! I apologize for any confusion caused.
