An observer uses a stopwatch to record the runners time at the end of each lap, obtaining the data in the following table. aWhat was the mans average speed rate between 68 s and 152 s? bWhat was the mans average speed between 263 s and 412 s? cCalculate the mans speed for each lap. Is he slowing down, speeding up or neither?

Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forward

A students grade point average GPA for these two courses is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of units; in this case the GPA is (12+15)8=3.375. a Find a formula for the GPA of a student who earns a grade of A in a units of course work, B in b units, C in c units, D in d units and F in f units. b Find the GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two 3-unit courses, B in one 4-unit courses and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forwardFind the intensities of earthquakes whose magnitudes are (a) R=6.0 and (b) R=7.9.arrow_forward
- Speed of Sound in the North Atlantic The speed of sound in ocean water is 1148.94meterspersecond, provided that the ocean water has a salinity of 35 35partsperthousand, the temperature it 0degreesCelsius, and the measurement is taken at the surface. If any one of these three factors varies, the speed of sound also changes. Different oceans often differ in salinity. In the North Atlantic Central Water the main body of water for the northern half of the Atlantic Ocean, the salinity can be determined from the temperature, so the speed of sound depends only on temperature and depth. A simplified polynomial formula for velocity in this body of water is V=1447.733+4.7713T0.05435T2+0.0002374T3+0.0163D+1.675107D27.1391013TD3 Here V is the speed of sound in meters per second, T is the water temperature in degrees Celsius, and D is depth in meters. This formula is valid for depths up to 8000 meters and for temperatures between 0 and 30 degrees Celsius. a. What type of polynomial is V as a function of T alone? Of D alone? b. For a fixed depth of 1000meters, write the formula for V in terms of T alone. c. Graph V as a function of T for the fixed depth of 1000meters. d. What is the concavity of the graph from part c? What does this imply about the speed of sound at that depth as temperature increases?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
