- Travel Distance A cars wheels are 28 in. in diameter. How far in mi. will the car if its wheels revolve 10,000 times without slipping?arrow_forwardSound Location You and a friend live 4 miles apart. You hear a clap of thunder from lightning 18 seconds before your friend hears it. Where did the lightning occur? (Assume sound travels at 1100 feet per second.)arrow_forwardAirplane Speed A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck. North Dakota-a distance of 180 mi. Because is flying into a headwind, the trip takes him 2 h. On way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1h 12 min. What is his speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing?arrow_forward
- Shadow Length A person who is 6 feet tall walks away from a 50-foot tower toward the tip of the tower’s shadow. At a distance of 32 feet from the tower, the person’s shadow begins to emerge beyond the tower’s shadow. How much farther must the person walk to be completely out of the tower’s shadow?arrow_forwardHeight of a Tree You measure a tree’s shadow and find that it is 8 meters long. Then you measure the shadow of a nearby two-meter lamppost and find that it is 75 centimeters long. (See figure.) How tall is the tree?arrow_forwardSound Location Two microphones, 2 miles apart, record an explosion. Microphone A receives the sound 6 seconds before microphone B. Where did the explosion occur? (Assume sound travels at 1100 feet per second.)arrow_forward
- APPLICATIONS Height of Tree A woodcutter determines the height of a tall tree by first measuring a smaller one 125 ft away, then moving so that his eyes are in a line of sight along the tops of the trees and measuring how far he is standing from the small treesee the figure. Suppose the small tree is 20 ft. tall, the man is 25 ft. from the small tree, and his eye level is 5 ft. above the ground. How tall the taller tree?arrow_forwardHeight of a Flagpole A flagpole is secured on opposite sides by two guy wires, each of which is 5 ft longer than the pole. The distance between the points where the wires are fixed to the ground is equal is equal to the length of one guy wire. How tall is the flagpole to the nearest inch?arrow_forwardHeight of a Building You measure the shadow cast by One Liberty Place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and find that it is 105 feet long. Then you measure the shadow cast by a nearby three-foot post and find that it is 4 inches long. Determine the building’s height.arrow_forward
- Distance, Speed, and Time A boardwalk is parallel to and 210 ft inland from a straight shoreline. A sandy beach lies between the boardwalk and the shoreline. A man is standing on the boardwalk, exactly 750 ft across the sand from his beach umbrella, which is right at the shoreline. The man walks 4 ft/s on the boardwalk and 2 ft/s on the sand. How far should he walk on the boardwalk before veering off onto the sand if he wishes to reach his umbrella in exactly 4 min 45 s?arrow_forwardLight It is 93,000,000 miles from the earth to the sun. Light travels 186,000 miles per second. How long does it take light to travel from the sun to the Earth?arrow_forwardRelativistic Length A rocket ship travelling near the speed of light appears to a stationary observer to shorten with speed. A rocket ship with a length of 200 meters will appear to a stationary observer to have a length of 2001-r2 meters, where r is the ratio of the velocity of the ship to the speed of light. What is the apparent length of the rocket ship if it is travelling at a speed that is 99% of the speed of light?arrow_forward
