- A gear train consists of three gears meshed together (Figure 9). The middle gear is known as an idler. Show that the angular velocity of the third gear does not depend on the number of teeth of the idler gear (Gear 2).arrow_forward4. Using Geogebra, draw the parametric curve, x = sin³ t +cos³t; y = sin² t - cos²t,0sts 27.arrow_forwardB) Find the length of the curve r = 1+ sin(26) V20arrow_forward

Using the helpful parametric models for projectile motion answer the following questions. x (t) = vo cos(0)t y (t) = hovo sin(0)t - 16t² a.) How long is the ball in the air (hang time)? b.) What is the maximum height of the ball? c.) How far, horizontally, does the ball travel in the air? (round to the nearest foot)arrow_forwardx(t) y(t) = 3 sint 0arrow_forward(a) Show that if a projectile is launched straight upward from the surface of the earth with initial velocity vo less than escape velocity 2GM/R, then the maximum dis- tance from the center of the earth attained by the projectile is 2GMR Imax 2GM – Rvž where M and R are the mass and radius of the earth, re- spectively. (b) With what initial velocity vo must such a projectile be launched to yield a maximum altitude of 100 kilometers above the surface of the earth? (c) Find the maximum distance from the center of the earth, expressed in terms of earth radii, attained by a projectile launched from the surface of the earth with 90% of escape velocity.arrow_forwardA curve is given parametrically by x = 3 + 9e tan acos 0, where a is a constant in the interval (0, π/2) and is a real-valued parameter. y = 4 + 9e tan asin 0. In this example, we can consider the whole curve by allowing the intrinsic angle to take any real value. Find an expression for tan in terms of 0 and a. Now, find an expression for the arclength s in terms of and a, choosing a sign convention such that s is positive and setting for convenience s→→0 as →∞0₁ Finally, combine the previous two results to find a relation between s and. From the form of this relation (and/or the original parametric equations) what shape must the curve have? (Choose one) OA circle OA spiral OA cycloid ONone of the other options OA straight linearrow_forward1. The parametric equations for the astroid below are x = sin (t), y = – cos* (t) on 0 < t < 2n. a) Find the starting point on the astroid and mark it on the graph as well as the direction of travel as t increases. dy b) Show all work to find the derivative at the point where t 2 -1 dxarrow_forwardarrow_back_iosarrow_forward_ios
