The speed v(L) (in m/sec) of an ocean wave in deep water is approximated by
- Find the average rate of change in speed between waves that are between 1 m and 4 m in length.
- Find the average rate of change in speed between waves that are between 4 m and 9 m in length.
- Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Using the graph and the results from parts (a) and (b), what does the difference in the rates of change mean?

- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardIn Figure 208, gear A is turning at 120 revolutions per minute and gear B is turning at 3.6 revolutions per second. Determine the ratio of the speed of gear A to the speed of gear B.arrow_forward
