- For Questions 1 through 6, fill in each blank with the appropriate word or expression. To calculate the amplitude for a function, take half the __________ of the ___________ value and the ___ _______ value of the function.arrow_forwardEratosthenes noticed that the shadow’s length was 1/8 the pole’s height. Suppose thepole’s height was ℎ = 2 and the shadow’s length was , = 0.25 . Calculate the anglebetween the Sun’s ray and the pole’s axis in degrees: - = XXXXXXXXXX . Expressthe same angle in radians: - = XXXXXXXXXX .1.7. Recall the beam of light travelling down the well in Syene. Extend that beam to thecenter of Earth. Also extend the pole’s axis to the center of Earth. These two extensionsare represented by dashed lines in Figure 1. The intersection of these two lines formsan angle . at the Earth’s center. Use basic geometry to find the relation between angles. and -. Calculate the angle . in radians: . = XXXXXXXXXX .arrow_forwardWhat is in Cartesian coordinate θ=5?arrow_forward
- If A = (-2, 1), B = (2,3) and C = (-2, –4) are three points, find the angle between the straight lines AB and BC. Give your answer in radians correct to 3 decimal places. Select one: 0.876 0.588 1 1.471 not in the listarrow_forwardYou are standing at the top of a lighthouse, looking down towards a boat on the water. From your position in the lighthouse, you are 67.7 metres above ground. The boat is a horizontal distance of 74.7 metres from the lighthouse. Determine the measure of the angle of depression formed between you and the boat. State your answer as a numeric value only, rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree.arrow_forwardBarbara boards a Ferris wheel with a 50-foot radius. The center of the Ferris wheel is 60 feet above the ground. When Barbara boards, the Ferris wheel is at the bottom of its rotation. The angle swept out as Barbara rotates is measured from the 3 o'clock position. a) Define a function f that relates Barbara's vertical distance above the ground v (measured in feet) as a function of her angle of rotation, 0 (measured in radians) from the right side of the Ferris wheel. b) Suppose that the Ferris wheel rotates so that each cart moves at a constant rate of 8 feet per second and makes no stops. Express the distance traveled by Barbara s (in feet) as a function of the number of seconds t since the Ferris wheel began to turn. c) Express O the angle of rotation from the right side of the Ferris wheel in terms of t the number of seconds since the Ferris wheel began to turn.arrow_forward
- The vehicle can travel underwater and also fly. It's time to turn it into a superfast hovercraft to travel on the surface of water. To travel on water, the tires rotate to become flat, as shown in the image. Find a suitable rate of rotation of the tires from 90° to 0° if it takes more than 9 s to make a tire horizontal. Plot the relationship. Write your answer in the boxes given below. 110 90 90° 70 50 Rate of rotation of the tires 30 10 Time taken to make the tire horizontal 5. 10 15 20 x Time taken (in s) Angle turned (in )arrow_forwardDraw a triangle that would be used together with the substitution x = 3 sec θ.arrow_forwardA hamster runs in its wheel whose radius is 3 inches. The wheel completes 9.2 revolutions in 8 seconds. What is the linear velocity of the hamster's wheel?2. A wheel completes 5.6 revolutions in 8 seconds. What is the angular velocity of the wheel in radians per minute? Enter your answer, in exact form as a simplified fraction, in the box.arrow_forward
