The velocity of an airplane flying into a headwind is given by \( v(t)=30\left(16-t^{2}\right) \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr} \) for \( 0 \leq t \leq 3 \mathrm{hr} \). Assume that \( \mathrm{s}(0)=0 \). c. When the velocity reaches 350 mi/hr, the airplane has traveled \( \square \mathrm{mi} \). (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)

To find when the velocity \( v(t) = 30(16 - t^2) \) reaches 350 mi/hr, we set the equation equal to 350: \[ 30(16 - t^2) = 350 \] Dividing both sides by 30: \[ 16 - t^2 = \frac{350}{30} \] Calculating the right side: \[ \frac{350}{30} = 11.6667 \] So, \[ 16 - t^2 = 11.6667 \] Now, solving for \( t^2 \): \[ t^2 = 16 - 11.6667 = 4.3333 \] Taking the square root to find \( t \): \[ t \approx \sqrt{4.3333} \approx 2.08 \text{ hr} \] Next, we need to find the distance traveled when \( t \approx 2.08 \) hr. We calculate the position function \( s(t) \) using the velocity function. Integrate \( v(t) \): \[ s(t) = \int v(t) \, dt = \int 30(16 - t^2) \, dt = 30 \left( 16t - \frac{t^3}{3} \right) + C \] Since \( s(0) = 0 \), we find \( C = 0 \): \[ s(t) = 30 \left( 16t - \frac{t^3}{3} \right) \] Now substituting \( t = 2.08 \): \[ s(2.08) = 30 \left( 16(2.08) - \frac{(2.08)^3}{3} \right) \] Calculating each term: \[ s(2.08) = 30 \left( 33.28 - \frac{8.576512}{3} \right) = 30 \left( 33.28 - 2.85884 \right) \] \[ = 30 \left( 30.42116 \right) \approx 912.6348 \text{ mi} \] Thus, when the velocity reaches 350 mi/hr, the airplane has traveled approximately: \[ \boxed{912.63} \text{ mi} \]
