Concept explainers
In exercises that require numerical values, use Table 12.7.1 and the following values, where needed:
(a) Suppose that a space probe is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 180 mi above the surface of the Earth. Use the result in Exercise 4 to find its speed.
(b) During a very short period of time, a thruster rocket on the space probe is fired to increase the speed of the probe by

- Measure the lengths of g-k in Figure 30-26 to the nearer whole millimeter.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 41 and 42, round to two decimal places. A goat is tethered to a barn by a 12-ft chain. If the chain is connected to the barn at a point 6 ft from one end of the barn, what is the area of the pasture that the goat is able to graze?arrow_forwardIn Figure 208, gear A is turning at 120 revolutions per minute and gear B is turning at 3.6 revolutions per second. Determine the ratio of the speed of gear A to the speed of gear B.arrow_forward

- You are given the figure as shown below. 16 in. E 30° 12 in. 8 in. 15 in. 30° Part 1: Prove that the two triangles above are similar. Provide a proof using any methodarrow_forwardCalculate the circumference of the following circles. Take =22/7 round off to 2decimal placesarrow_forwardThe height of the cylinder is 4 inches. We'll be analyzing the surface area of a round cylinder - in other words the amount of material needed to "make a can". A cylinder (round can) has a circular base and a circular top with vertical sides in between. Let r be the radius of the top of the can and let h be the height. The surface area of the cylinder, A, is A = 2rr2 + 2Trh (it's two circles for the top and bottom plus a rolled up rectangle for the side). r = radius Areas = ar? h = height Area = h(2tr) %3D Circumference 2nr Part a: Assume that the height of your cylinder is 4 inches. Consider A as a function of r, so we can write that as A (r) 2 + 8 Tr. What is the domain of A (r)? In other words, for which values of r is A (r) defined? Part b: Continue to assume that the height of your cylinder is 4 inches. Write the radius r as a function of A. This is the inverse function to A (r), i.e to turn A as a function of r into. r as a function of A.arrow_forward
- What does H Triangle G mean?arrow_forwardA coroner arrives at a murder scene at 7 p.m. She finds the temperature of the body to be 86.4°F. She waits one hour, takes the temperature again, and finds it to be 82.8°F. She notes that the room temperature is 60°F. Assuming that the temperature of the body was 98.6°F when the murder occured, when was the murder committed? CZE The murder was commited at approximately approximately (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest hour.) An office machine is purchased for $5100. Assume that its salvage value, V, in dollars, depreciates, according to a method called double declining balance, by 10% each year and is given by V(t)=5100(0.90), where t is the time, in years, after purchase. a) Find V(3), and explain its meaning. b) Find V'(3), and explain its meaning. c) When will the salvage value of the office machine be half of the purchase price? a) V(3) = $ (Round to the nearest cent needed.) The expression V(3) means that after year(s), the salvage value Y b) V'(3) = $…arrow_forward1 point 12. Find the m DE. F 13d 1240 Oine den Your answerarrow_forward
