- a ball is thrown straight upwards from a tower (40 feet high) so that its position, s in feet, at time, t in seconds, is given by s= -16t^2+48t+40; 0<t when does the ball hit the ground? What is its terminal velocity at that instant?arrow_forwardA Ferris wheel of diameter 18.5 m rotates at a rate of 0.2 rad/s. If passengers board the lowest car at aheight of 3 m above the ground, determine a cosine function that models the height, h, in metres, of thecar relative to the ground as a function of the time, t, in seconds.arrow_forwardWhich equation represents the equation of the dune function with the given characteristics?arrow_forward
- What is the length of the period of the given model?arrow_forwardWhat does your formula indicate the long-term height of the sunflower will be as t approaches infinity? Is this result consistent with the equilibria of the original equation?arrow_forwardSuppose the oscillatory motion of an object can be modeled using the equation s(t) = 6.5sin(4.6t) where time is measured in seconds and distance is measured in inches. Find the number of cycles (oscillations) the object makes per second. (Provide 4 decimal places.)arrow_forward
- Give an equation of the resulting function when y=cosθ is horizontally compressed by a factor of 1/4arrow_forwardThe outside temperature over the course of a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature is 63°F and cooling at midnight, and the high and low temperatures during the day are 76°F and 50°F, respectively. Assuming t is the number of hours since midnight, find a function for the temperature, D, in terms of t. D(t)= ?arrow_forwardResearchers used a version of the Gompertz curve to model the growth of breast cancer tumors with the equation N(t) = ec(1-e-kt) , where N(t) is the number of cancer cells after t days, c = 27.3, and k = 0.011. Find the inflection point and describe what it signifies. Source: Cancer Research.arrow_forward
- Ryan is eagerly watching a yellow flower falling straight down towards a point on the ground whose horizontal distance from Ryan is 75 cm. If the angle of elevation of the yellow flower is decreasing at a constant rate of 1/20 radian per second, how fast is the yellow flower falling at the moment when the yellow flower is 25√3 cm from the ground?arrow_forwardThe displacement from equilibrium of an object in harmonic motions on the end of a string is given by y=1/3cos12t-1/4sin12t where y is meausred in feet and t is the time in seconds. Determine the position and velocity of the object when t=3.14/8 seconds.arrow_forwardThe surface of a mountain is modeled by the equation h(x,y)=5000-0.006x2-0.008y2. A mountain climber is at the point (700, 500, 4390). In what direction should the climber move in order to ascend at the greatest rate?
