Further Verification of Newtons Second LawThis exercise represents a hypothetical implementation of the experiment suggested in the solution of part 6 of Example 3.7. A mass of 15 kilograms was subjected to varying accelerations, and the resulting force was measured. In the following table, acceleration is in meters per second per second, and force is in newton. Acceleration Force 8 120 11 165 14 210 17 255 20 300 a. Construct a table of differences and explain how it shows that these data are linear. b. Find a linear model for the data. c. Explain in practical terms what the slope of this linear model is. d. Express, using functional notation, the force resulting from an acceleration of 15 meters per second per second, and then calculate that value. e. Explain how this experiment provides further evidence for Newtons second law of motion.
Lyme Disease The numbers Nof confirmed cases of Lyme disease in Maryland from 2007 through 2014 are shown in the table, where t represents the year, with t=7corresponding to 2007. (a) Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data. (b) Use the regression feature of the graphing utility to find a quartic model for the data. (A quartic model has the form at4+bt3+ct2+dt+e,where a,b,c,d,and e are constant and t is variable.) Graph the model in the same viewing window as the scatter plot. (c) Use the model to create a table of estimated values of N.Compare the model with the original data. (d) Use synthetic division to confirm algebraically your estimated value for the year 2014.
