With a tailwind, ground speed is increased by the speed of the wind. Let A denote the airspeed of a plane and W the speed of the wind, both in miles per hour. Suppose it takes the plane 9 hours to travel the 720 miles from one town to another facing a headwind of W. the return trip, now with a tailwind of W, takes only 6 hours. a. Express the ground speed on the trip out in terms of A and W. b.

Cleaning Contaminated Water A tank of water is contaminated with 60 pounds of salt. In order to bring the salt concentration down to a level consistent with EPA standards, clean water is being piped into tank, and the well-mixed overflow is being collected for removal to a toxic-waste site. The result is that at the end of each hour, there is 22 less salt in the tank than at the beginning of the hour. Let S=S(t) denote the number of pounds of salt in the tank t hours after the flushing process begins. a. Explain why S is an exponential function and find its hourly decay factor. b. Give a formula for S. c. Make a graph of S that shows the flushing process during the first 15 hours, and describe in words how the salt removal process progresses. d. In order to meet EPA standards, there can be no more than 3 pounds of salt in the tank. How long must the process continue before EPA standards are met? e. Suppose this cleanup procedure costs 8000 per hour to operate. How much does it cost to reduce the amount of salt from 60 pounds to 3 pounds?

It still sees limited use for control of disease. But DDT was found to be harmful to plants and animals, including humans, and its effects were found to be lasting. The amount of time that DDT remains in the environment depends on many factors, but the following table shows what can be expected of 100 kilograms of DDT that has seeped into the soil. t=time,inyearssinceapplication D=DDTremaining,inkilograms 0 100.00 1 95.00 2 90.25 3 85.74 a.

Decibels Sound exerts a pressure P on the human ear. This pressure increases as the loudness of the sound increases. It is convenient to measure the loudness D in decibels and the pressure P in dynes per square centimeter. It has been found that each increase of 1decibel in loudness causes a 12.2 increase in pressure. Furthermore, a sound of loudness 97decibels produces a pressure of 15 dynes per square centimeter. a. Explain why P is an exponential function of D and find the growth factor. b. Find P(0) and explain in practical terms what your answer means. c. Find an exponential model for P as a function of D. d. When pressure on the ear reaches a level of about 200 dynes per square centimeter, physical damage can occur. What decibel level should be considered dangerous?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Earthquakes in Alaska and ChileIn 1964, an earthquake measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale occurred in Alaska. a. How did the power of the New Madrid earthquake described in Example 4.12 compare with that of the 1964 Alaska earthquake? b. In 1960 an earthquake occurred in Chile that was 2 times as powerful as the Alaska quake. What was the Richter scale reading for the Chilean earthquake? EXAMPLE 4.12COMPARING SOME FAMOUS EARTHQUAKES On December 16, 1811, an earthquake occurred near New Madrid, Missouri, that temporarily reversed the course of the Mississippi River. This was actually one of a series of earthquakes in the area, one of which is estimated to have had a Richter magnitude of 8.8.The area was sparsely populated at the time, and there were thought to be few fatalities. On October 17, 1989, a calamitous earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale occurred in the San Francisco Bay area. The earthquake killed 67 and injured more than 3000. Part 1How much more powerful was the New Madrid quake than the 1989 San Francisco quake? Part 2If an earthquake 1000 times as powerful as the 1989 San Francisco earthquake occurred, what would its Richter scale measurement be? Part 3On December 26, 2004, an earthquake 2 times as powerful as the New Madrid quake struck the Indian Ocean near Indonesia. It caused a tsunami that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. What was the Richter scale reading for this quake?arrow_forward

World Copper Production World production of copper, in millions of tons per year, from 1900 to 2000 is given by C=0.51.033t, where t is the time in years since 1900. a.What production level does this model give for the year 2000? b.If this model were extended to 2025, how could you use your knowledge of copper production in 2024 to estimate copper production in 2025?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Drug Concentration When a drug is administered orally, it takes some time before the blood concentration reaches its maximum level. After that time, concentration levels decrease. When 500 milligrams of procainamide is administered orally, one model for a particular patient gives blood concentration C, in milligrams per liter, after t hours as C=2.65(e0.2te2t) During what time period is the drug concentration level at least 1.5 milligrams per liter?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forward
