- Projectile Motion In Exercises 75 and 76, consider the path of an object projected horizontally with a velocity of v feet per second at a height of s feet, where the model for the path is x2=v216ys. In this model (in which air resistance is disregarded), y is the height (in feet) of the projectile and x is the horizontal distance (in feet) the projectile travels. A ball is thrown from the top of a 100-foot tower with a velocity of 28 feet per second. (a) Write an equation for the parabolic path. (b) How far does the ball travel horizontally before it strikes the ground?arrow_forwardEnlarging a Field A farmer has a rectangular cow pasture with width 100 ft. and length 180 ft. An increase the number of requires the farmer to increase the area of her pasture. She has two options: Option 1: Increase the length of the field. 0ption 2: Increase the width at the field. It costs $10 per foot to install new fence. Moving the old fence costs $6 per linear foot of fence to be moved. (a) For each option, find a formula for A, the area gained, in terms of the cost C. (b) Complete the table for the area gained in terms of the cost for each option. (c) If the farmer has $1200 for this project, which option gives her the greatest gain in area for her money? What if she had $2000 for the project?arrow_forwardLean Body Weight in Females This is a continuation of Exercise 24. The text cited in Exercise 24 gives a more complex method of calculating lean body weight for young adult females: L=19.81+0.73W+21.2R-0.88A-1.39H+2.43F Here L is the lean body weight in pounds, W is the weight in pounds, R is wrist diameter, A is the abdominal circumference in inches, H is hip circumference if inches, and F is forearm circumference in inches. According to this formula, what is the approximate lean body weight of a young adult female who weighs 132 pounds and has wrist diameter of 2 inches, abdominal circumference of 27 inches, hip circumference of 37 inches and forearm circumference of 7 inches? What is the weight of her body fat? What is her body fat percent? Lean Body Weight in Males A persons lean body weight L is the amount that he or she would weigh if all body fat were marginally to disappear. One text gives the equation that practitioners can use most feasibly in the field to predict lean body weight in young males. The equation is L=98.42+1.08W-4.14A Here L is the lean body weight in pounds, W is the weight in pounds and A is the abdominal circumference in inches. Find the approximate lean body weight of a young adult male who weighs 188 pounds and has an abdominal circumference of 35 inches. What is the weight of his body fat? What is his body fat percent?arrow_forward
- 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_forwardConstruction Costs The town of Foxton lies 10 mi north of an abandoned east-west road that runs through Grimley, as shown in the figure. The point on the abandoned road closed to Foxton is 40 mi from Grimley. Country officials are about to build a new road connecting the two towns. They have determined that restoring the old road would cost 100,000 per mile, while building a new road would cost 200, 000 per mile. How much of the abandoned road should be used as indicated in the figure if the officials intend to spend exactly 6.8 million? Would it cost less than this amount to build a new road connecting the towns directly?arrow_forwardDistance and Time Anthony leaves Kingstown at 2:00 P.M. and drives to Queensville, 160 mi distant, at 45 mi/h. at 2:15 P.M. Helen leaves Queensville and drives to Kingstown at 40 mi/h. At what time do they pass each other on the road?arrow_forward
