Wind Chill Temperature.
Because wind speed enhances the loss of heat from the skin, we feel colder when there is wind than when there is not. The wind chill temperature is what the temperature would have to be with no wind in order to give the same chilling effect. The wind chill temperature, W, is given by
where T is the temperature measured by a thermometer, in degrees Fahrenheit, and v is the speed of the wind, in miles per hour. Find the wind chill temperature in each case. Round to the nearest degree.

- 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_forwardFind the unknown value. 27. y varies jointly with x and the cube root of 2. If when x=2 and z=27,y=12, find y if x=5 and z=8.arrow_forwardFind the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meter if I0=14 and k=0.7. Round to two decimals.arrow_forward
- Define Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.arrow_forwardSolve each problem. w is directly proportional to z. If w=-6 when z=2, find w when z=-3.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardThe population Pinmillions of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardIf you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forward
- A thermometer reading 96o is placed inside a cold storage room with a constant temperature of 37o If the thermometer reads 88o in 5 minutes, how long before it reaches 53o Assume the cooling follows Newton's Law of Cooling: U = T + (Uo - T)ekt.arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide particles in our atmosphere trap heat and raise the planet’s temperature. Even if all greenhousegas emissions miraculously ended today, the planet would continue to warm through the rest of the century because of the amount of carbon we have already added to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide accounts for about half of global warming. The function y = 2.5 sin 2πx + 0.0216x2 + 0.654x + 316 models carbon dioxide concentration, y, in parts per million, where x = 0 represents January 1960; x = 1/12, February 1960; x = 2 /12, March 1960; . . . , x = 1, January 1961; x = 13/12, February 1961; and so on. Use a graphing utility to graph the function in a [30, 48, 5] by [310, 420, 5] viewing rectangle. Describe what the graph reveals about carbon dioxide concentration from 1990 through 2008.arrow_forwardFind xarrow_forward
