- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardBen starts walking along a path at 4 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 6 mi/h. How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?arrow_forwardA Skydiver When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, his downward velocity, in feet per second, before he opens his parachute, is given by v=1761-0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since he jumped from the airplane. What is the velocity after 5 seconds?arrow_forward
- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardA man throws a ball into the air with a velocity of 96 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the height of the ball will be 48 feet. Round to the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forwardAn arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forward
- The rate of change of an autocatalytic chemical reaction is kQxkx2 where Q is the amount of the original substance, x is the amount of substance formed, and k is a constant of proportionality. Factor the expression.arrow_forwardIn the figure, Michelle is inside a lift on the ground floor. Tony is 11 m away from Michelle. Then, the lift begins to move upwards with a speed of x m/s, while Tony walks towards the lift horizontally at a speed of (x - 2) m/s. 3 seconds later, the distance between Tony and Michelle is 13 m. Find the value of x. 50. Michelle Tony x m/s (x - 2) m/s 11 marrow_forwardPlease write clearly thank you.arrow_forward
- The avarage number of gallons W of bottle of water consumed each year by the consumer can be approximated by W=1.5d+17.85, where d is the number of years since 200.(A) find the avaerge number of gallons of bottle of water consumed in 2001 (d=1), in 2001 and 2015arrow_forwardUse the fact that 14 gallons is approximately the same amount as 53 liters to find a mathematical model that relates liters y to gallons x.Then use the model to find the numbers of liters in 5 gallons and 25 gallons.arrow_forwardA community skating rink is in the shape of a rectangle withsemicircles attached at the ends. The length of the rectangleis 20 feet less than twice the width. The thickness of the ice is0.75 inch.(a) Build a model that expresses the ice volume, V, as afunction of the width, x.(b) How much ice is in the rink if the width is 90 feet?arrow_forward
