How is the area of a sail related to the weight of the pilot on a hang glider?

The area of the sail is correlated to the weight of the pilot on the hang glider because the surface area of the sail needs to be able to lift ≤ (greater than or equal to) weight of the pilot.

The <u>correct answer</u> is:

The larger the surface area of the sail, the heavier the pilot can be and safely use the glider.

Explanation:

A hang glider must be able to support the weight of the pilot. The air pushing up under the sail (wing) of the glider helps support the weight. The more sail (wing) that you have, the more air pushing up, and the more weight it can hold.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

This has one real solution, x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

8 - 4x = 0

Add 4x to each side

8 - 4x+4x = 0+4x

8 =4x

Divide each side by 4

8/4 = 4x/4

2 =x

This has one real solution, x=4

Find a solution x = x(t) of the equation x′ + 2x = t2 + 4t + 7 in the form of a quadratic function of t, that is, of the form x(

Temka [501]

The particular quadratic solution to the ODE is found as follows:

$x=at^2+bt+c$
$x'=2at+b$

$(2at+b)+2(at^2+bt+c)=t^2+4t+7$
$2at^2+(2a+2b)t+(b+2c)=t^2+4t+7$

$\begin{cases}2a=1\\2(a+b)=4\\b+2c=7\end{cases}\implies a=\dfrac12,b=\dfrac32,c=\dfrac{11}4$

Note that there's also the fundamental solution to account for, which is obtained from the characteristic equation for the ODE:

$x'+2x=0\implies r+2=0\implies r=-2$

so that $x_c=Ce^{-2t}$ is a characteristic solution to the ODE, and the general solution would be

$x=Ce^{-2t}+\dfrac{t^2}2+\dfrac{3t}2+\dfrac{11}4$
