Field goal attempt Near the end of the 1950 Rose Bowl football game between the University of California and Ohio State University. Ohio State was preparing to attempt a field goal from a distance of 23 yd from the endline at point A on the edge of the kicking region (see figure). But before the kick. Ohio State committed a penalty and the ball was backed up 5 yd to point B on the edge of the kicking region. After the game, the Ohio State coach claimed that his team deliberately committed a penalty to improve the kicking angle. Given that a successful kick must go between the uprights of the goal posts G1 and G2, is ∠G1BG2 greater than ∠G1AG2? (In 1950, the uprights were 23 ft 4 in apart, equidistant from the origin on the end line. The boundaries of the kicking region are 53 ft 4 in apart and are equidistant from the y-axis.

- Background and formula: Ellipse has two types of axis - Major Axis and Minor Axis. The longest chord of the ellipse is the major axis. The perpendicular chord to the major axis is the minor axis, which bisects the major axis at the center as shown in Figure 1. Ellipse is different with circle which has only one radius. There is no simple formula to calculate the exact or accurate value of perimeter of an ellipse. Therefore, we use approximation formulas to calculate the approximate value of an ellipse's perimeter. One of the approximation methods is called Ramanujan Formula as follows: p z n[3(a + b) – (3a + b)(a + 3b)] where a is the semi major axis and b is the semi minor axis of the ellipse, respectively, as shown in Figure 1. b (major axis data.txt 4 8 5 7 Write a complete C+ program that read the values of major axis and minor axis from input file, data.txt; and then compute its perimeter using the Ramanujan Formula. The first column in the input file is the major axis, while the…arrow_forwardThe annual snake festival is upon us and all the snakes of the kingdom have gathered to participate in the parade. The chef was tasked with reporting on the parade, so he decided to watch all the snakes first. When he sees the snake first, it will be his head, so he marks the "H". Snakes are long, and when they see the snake finally scurry away, they mark its tail with a "T". In the interim, when the snake is moving around it, or in the time between one snake and the next snake, it marks a '.'. Since the snakes come in a procession and one by one, a valid message would be something like "..H..T...HTH....T.", or "...", or "HT", while "T ...H..H.T", "H..T..H", "H..H..T..T" would be invalid messages (see explanation below). Formally, a snake is represented by an 'H' followed by some (possibly null) '.' and then 'T'. A valid message is one that begins with the (probably zero-length) string '.' and then some (possibly zero) snakes, with some '.'s in between, and finally some (possibly zero)…arrow_forwardThe liquid-liquid extraction process carried out at the Electrochemical Materials Laboratory involves the extraction of nickel (Ni) from the liquid phase into an organic phase. Data from laboratory experiments are given in the table below.

Quadratic interpolation is used to estimate the value of g, which is given by the following formula: g = x1a? + x2a + x3 a. Find three simultaneous equations based on the data given by the experimental results. b. Use the Gauss Elimination method to get the values of x1, x2 and x3 and then estimate the amount of Ni in the organic phase, if 2.3 g/l of Ni is available in the liquid phase. c. Use the LU Decomposition method to get the values of x1, x2 and x3. and then estimate the amount of Ni in the organic phase, if 2.3 g/l of Ni is available in the liquid phase.arrow_forward

With wheat grains, so that one grain is placed in the first slot, and in the next column there are two grains, and in the next are four grains, and in the next are eight grains, and in the next sixteen grains, and so on, where the number of wheat grains in each column is doubled from the previous column, the king agreed to that, but he was surprised later on that wheat In all his kingdom, two students arose not enough By drawing the flowchart to calculate the required quantity of wheat grains, what was the professor's assessment (noting that the number of chess board cells is 64)arrow_forward(Heat transfer) The formula developed in Exercise 5 can be used to determine the cooling time, t, caused only by radiation, of each planet in the solar system.

- Transcribed Image Text 2-a) A lightning strike on the fell on Jonathan's house and destroyed the whole house. Now he decided to build a new house and he is now choosing a location where he wanted to build it. Assume the whole area be of rectangular field of size NxM. The mayor did not let Jonathan's build the house on the places where the lightning strike. The mayor said that some of the cells of the field are dangerous for the foundation. There are exactly K such cells. The house will occupy a rectangular area in this stripe with sides parallel to the sides of the original site. Your task is to help Jonathan for finding each Li, H; (the lowest and the highest boundaries). Create a simple JAVA program that finds the maximum area of the house that Jonathan can build on the relevant site.arrow_forwardComputer Science Using computers and other automated tools to grade true-false and multiple-choice tests is widespread, but grading essays has been reserved for instructors. Until now. Software developed by a nonprofit enterprise founded by Harvard and MIT recently released software that can grade student essays and short written answers. Students answer online instead of in a blue book and immediately receive their grade after clicking a Send button. The software uses artificial intelligence (it initially “learns” how to grade an instructor’s test by reviewing 100 essay exams that the instructor scored) and is designed to free up professors for other tasks, as well as give students the opportunity to immediately revise their graded essays for an improved grade. But does the system work? Are the automated grades similar to what a human grader would award? Skeptics (including the National Council of Teachers of English) say no. Objections include a lack of tests to support the validity…arrow_forwardThe Youth Bowling Clubs Association (YBCA) is a loose group of children’s ten-pin bowling clubs that compete with inter-club competitions regularly throughout the year. It is run on an amateur basis, and each week volunteers from each of the clubs present at a competition provide a referee and scorer for the competition. As the clubs are affiliated with bowling alleys, each club takes it in turns to host the competitions, and there is a rule that no club can have a scorer or referee at a competition they are participating in. The Managing Committee of the YBCA have been organising the competitions informally for many years, and now want to put the officiating on a formal basis, which will be auditable by the Australian Bowling Association (ABA). They have passed a set of by-laws, and to ensure that the process works properly, and is fair, they have decided to commission a computer system – Official-Eze. The Committee wants the Official-Eze system to automate the process of…arrow_forward
