A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are

parabolic in shape and are suspended from the tops of the towers. The cables touch the road surface at the center of the bridge. Find the height of the cable at a point 200 feet from the center of the bridge.

Answer:

y = 17.04 ft

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

y = 180 ft

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft

now from the equation of parabola we have

y = k x^2

180 = k(650^2)

k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}

now we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)

y = 17.04 ft

A biker is pedaling at a constant speed of 36 km/h. During the last 10 s of the race, he increases his speed with a constant acc
adell [148]

Answer:

54 km/h

Explanation:

given,

speed of the biker = 36 Km/h

time = 10 s

acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

speed at which it crosses the finish line  = ?

v = 36 x 0.278 = 10 m/s

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 10 + 0.5 x 10

v = 15 m/s

v = 15 x 3.6 = 54 km/hr

speed at which the biker crosses the finish line is equal to 54 km/h

What do you think that astronomers mean when they use the term observable universe?
iren2701 [21]
The observable universe consists of galaxies and other matter that can, principally, be seen from Earth because the light signals have had time to reach us. Not everything in the sky is the way it is when we see it, because of the distance the light travels to reach us. 

Hope this helps :)
