Answer:
The cosine function to model the height of a water particle above and below the mean water line is h = 2·cos((π/30)·t)
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosine function equation is given as follows h = d + a·cos(b(x - c))
Where:
= Amplitude
2·π/b = The period
c = The phase shift
d = The vertical shift
h = Height of the function
x = The time duration of motion of the wave, t
The given data are;
The amplitude = 2 feet
Time for the wave to pass the dock
The number of times the wave passes a point in each cycle = 2 times
Therefore;
The time for each complete cycle = 2 × 30 seconds = 60 seconds
The time for each complete cycle = Period = 2·π/b = 60
b = π/30 =
Taking the phase shift as zero, (moving wave) and the vertical shift as zero (movement about the mean water line), we have
h = 0 + 2·cos(π/30(t - 0)) = 2·cos((π/30)·t)
The cosine function is h = 2·cos((π/30)·t).
1) we calculate the volume of the first carton:
volume=length x width x height
volume=3 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft=12 ft³
Therefore:
A machine can fill 12 ft³ in 3 seconds.
2) we calculate the volume of the second carton.
volume=length x width x heigth
volume=4 ft * 5 ft * 6 ft=120 ft³
3) we calculate the time that the machine needs for fill the second carton with packing material by the rule of three.
12 ft³---------------------3 seconds
120 ft³-------------------- x
x=(120 ft³ * 3 seconds) / 12 ft³=30 seconds.
answer: 30 seconds.
(27 mi/hr) x (1 hr / 60 min) = (27/60) (mi/min) = 0.45 mile/minute
Using the same kind of calculation, we can see
that the world record times for other distances
correspond to:
200 meters 23.31 mph
400 meters 20.72 mph
800 meters 17.73 mph
1000 meters 16.95 mph
1500 meters 16.29 mph
1 mile (1,609 meters) 16.13 mph
2,000 meters 15.71 mph
10,000 meters 14.18 mph
30,000 meters 12.89 mph
Marathon (42,195 meters) 13.10 mph
Except for that one figure at the end, for the marathon,
which I can't explain yet and I'll need to investigate further,
it's pretty obvious that a human being, whether running for
his life or for a gold medal, can't keep up the pace indefinitely.
