Wind Chill Temperature.
Because wind speed enhances the loss of heat from the skin, we feel colder when there is wind than when there is not. The wind chill temperature is what the temperature would have to be with no wind in order to give the same chilling effect. The wind chill temperature, W, is given by
where T is the temperature measured by a thermometer, in degrees Fahrenheit, and v is the speed of the wind, in miles per hour. Find the wind chill temperature in each case. Round to the nearest degree.

- The Skydiver Again When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, her downward velocity, n feet per second, before she opens her parachute is given by = 176 1 0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since she jumped from the airplane. We found earlier that the terminal velocity for the skydiver is 176 feet per second. How long does it take for her to reach 90 of terminal velocity?arrow_forwardThe population Pinmillions of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forward
