0 A two-inch-long grasshopper can jump a horizontal distance of 40 inches. An athlete, who is _ five feet nine, wants to cover a

distance of one mile by jumping. If this person could jump at the same ratio of body-length to jump-length as the grasshopper, determine, to the nearest jump, how many jumps it would take this athlete to jump one mile?

Answer:

a) nearest jump is JL = 1380 inches = 115ft

b) number of jumps in 1 mile N= 46 jumps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the jump length is proportional to the body length.

If 2 inch grasshopper can jump 40 inches.

JL = k(BL)

k = JL/BL

where JL = jump length = 40 inches

BL = Body length = 2 inches.

k = 40/2 = 20

The constant of proportionality is 20.

For the athlete :

BL = 5ft 9 inches = 5(12)+9 = 69 inches.

The jump length of the athlete is:

JL = k(BL) = 20(69)

JL = 1380 inches. = 115ft

The number of jumps in 1 mile is

1 mile = 63360 inches

N = 63360/1380

N = 45.9 = 46

N= 46

Therefore, 46 jumps would be needed.

The functions f (theta) and g (theta) are sine functions, where f (0) equals g (0) equals 0.The amplitude of f (theta) is twice
777dan777 [17]
If period of f(\theta) is one-half the period of g(\theta) and
<span>g(\theta)  has a period of 2π, then T_{g} =2T_{f}=2 \pi and T_{f}= \pi.
</span>
To find the period of sine function f(\theta)=asin(b\theta+c) we use the rule T_{f}= \frac{2\pi}{b}.
<span /><span />
f is sine function where f (0)=0, then c=0; with period \pi, then f(\theta)=asin 2\theta, because T_{f}= \frac{2 \pi }{2} = \pi. 

To find a we consider the condition f( \frac{ \pi }{4} )=4, from where asin2* \frac{\pi}{4} =a*sin \frac{ \pi }{2} =a=4.

If the amplitude of f(\theta) is twice the amplitude of g(\theta) , then g(\theta) has a product factor twice smaller than f(\theta) and while period of g(\theta)<span> </span> is 2π and g(0)=0, we can write g(\theta)=2sin\theta.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is calculated like:

V= length* hauteur* wide

V= 5* 2 3/4* 10 1/2

V= 5*\frac{11}{4} *\frac{21}{2} =\frac{5*11*21}{4*2} =\frac{1155}{8}=144.375  \\=144 \frac{3}{8} in^{3}
