The brightness of a "young" star sometimes increases and decreases as a result of regional areas of "hot" and "cold" on the star's surface as well as variations in the density of the star's planet-forming debris, which can obstruct light Suppose that for a particular star, the average magnitude (measure of brightness) is

- Can the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardUse the table of values you made in part 4 of the example to find the limiting value of the average rate of change in velocity.arrow_forwardA stamped sheet steel plate is shown in Figure 164. Compute dimensions AF to 3 decimal places. All dimensions are in inches. A=_B=_C=_D=_E=_F=_arrow_forward
- Velocity at the Equator Assuming the radius of the earth is 4,000 miles, use the information from Problem 43 to find the linear velocity of a person standing on the equator.arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardAccording to data from the Hill AerospaceMuse um (Hill Air Force Base, Utah), the speed of sound varies depending on altitude, barometric pressure, and temperature. For example, at 20,000 feet, 13.75 inches ofmercury, and - 12.3°F, the speed of sound is about 707 miles per hour, but the speed can vary from this result by as much as 55 miles per hour as conditions change.(a) Express this situation as an inequality involving an absolute value.(b) Using x for the speed of sound, solve for x to find an interval for the speed of sound.arrow_forward
- 3) An empty can of room freshener that has a volume of 350 mL, contains gas at a pressure of 360 kPa at 24° C. Pressure varies directly with temperature and inversely with volume. Determine the temperature of the same can, if it contains gas at a pressure of 750 kPa.arrow_forwardA severe storm has an average peak wave height of u=16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a reading of 38 waves showed an average weight height of x=16.9 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that o=3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is increasing above the severe rating? Use a=0.01 arrow_forwardA 25,000 machiene depreciates linearly to 0 over a ten year period.What is the value of the machiene after 6 years?arrow_forward
- A tsunami (sometimes inaccurately called a “tidal wave”) is a fast moving ocean wave caused by an underwater earthquake. The water first goes down from its normal level to its lowest level, then rises to its highest level above normal. The time it takes to go from lowest level to highest level, and back to lowest level is 15 minutes. The tidal wave continues this pattern until it crashes onto shore. Suppose a tsunami with amplitude of10 meters approaches Honolulu, HI where the normal depth of water is 9meters. Assume the tsunami varies in depth of water sinusoidally with time as it approaches the pier. a) Sketch the graph of the water depths from 0 to 15 minutes.b) Find a particular equation expressing water depth as a function of time. c) What does a negative water depth mean (keeping in mind that there can’t be less than zero water)?arrow_forward7. The number of visible sun spots varies rhythmically from 10 to 110 per year over a period of eleven years. The 110 max last occurred in the year 2014. a.) b.) Write a sinusoidal function N (t) to model that number of sun spots per year, where t is in years past the year 2014. What number of sun spots does your function predict for the year 2018?arrow_forward7. The city of Thunder Bay, Ontario, has average monthly temperatures that vary between - 14.8 °C and 17.6°C. The following table gives the average monthly temperatures, averaged over many years. Determine the equation of the sine function that describes the data, and use your equation to determine the times that the temperature is below 0°C. May July Aug. Month Average Temperature (°C) Jan.
