- Hydroplaning On wet roads, under certain conditions the front tires of a car will hydroplane, or run along the surface of the water. The critical speed V at which hydroplaning occurs is a function of p, the tire inflation pressure. The following table shows hypothetical data for p, in pounds per square inch, and V, in miles per hour. Tire inflation pressure p Critical speed V for hydroplaning 20 46.3 25 51.8 30 56.7 35 61.2 a Find a formula that models V as a power function of p. b In the rain, a car with tires inflated to 35pound per square inch is travelling behind a bus with tires inflated to 60 pounds per square inch, and both are moving at 65 miles per hour. If they both hit their brakes, what might happen?arrow_forwardm Miles per Gallon The cost of operating a car depends on the gas mileage in that your car gets, the cost x per gallon of gasoline, and the distance d that you drive. a. How much does it cost to drive 100 miles if your car gets 25 miles per gallon and gasoline costs 349 cents per gallon? b. Find a formula that gives the cost C as a function of m, g, and d be sure to state the units of each variable. c. Use functional notation to show the cost of driving a car that gets 28 miles per gallon a distance of 138 miles if gasoline costs 3.69 per gallon Use the formula from part b to calculate the cost.arrow_forwardFocal Length A refracting telescope has a main lens, or objective lens, and a second lens, the eyepiece see Figure 3.42. For a given magnification M of the telescope, the focal length F of the objective lens is a linear function of the focal length Fe of the eyepiece. For example, a telescope with magnification M=80 times can be constructed using various combinations of lenses. The following table gives some samples of focal length for telescopes with magnification M=80. Here focal lengths are in centimeters. Fe 0.3 0.5 0.7 0.9 F 24 40 56 72 a. Construct a linear model for the data. b. In this example, the magnification M is 80. In general, F is proportional to Fe, and the constant of proportionality is M. Use this relation to write a formula for F in terms of Fe and M. c. Solve the equation you obtained in part b for M and thus obtain a formula for magnification as a function of objective lens focal length and eyepiece focal length. d. To achieve a large magnification, how should the objective and eyepiece lenses be selected? FIGURE 3.42arrow_forward
