You are taking your first hot-air balloon ride. Your friend is standing on level ground,100 feet away from your point of launch, making a video of the terrified look on your rapidly ascending face. How rapidly? At one instant, the angle of elevation from the video camera to your face is 31.7°.One minute later, the angle of elevation is 76.2°.How far did you travel, to the nearest tenth of a foot, during that minute?
Suppose that there are initially 75 bacteria in a colony and after 3 hours, there are 300 bacteria in the colony.Assuming exponential growth, how many bacteria are there after 7 hours? Round to the nearest whole number.
The angle of elevation
θ
of the sun in the sky at any latitude L is calculated with the formula
sinθ=cosDcosLcosω+sinDsinL.
ω
is the number of radians that the Earth has rotated through since noon when
ω=0.
D is the declination of the sun. Westville has latitude
L=37.9°.
Find the angle of elevation
θ
in degrees of the sun at 3 PM on February 29, 2012, where at that time
D≈−0.1425
