The gear is one of the oldest mechanical devices. It has been used since ancient times for its ability to increase or decrease r

otational velocity. When one gear turns another, the outer portions of the gears are turning at the same linear speed. However, when one gear is smaller or larger than the other, the speed of rotation will be different for each gear.
Let’s look at an application of gears that you’ve seen before. On a bicycle, the pedals are attached to a large gear at the center of the bike, and a chain connects the large gear to a small gear attached to the rear wheel. The chain does not change the speed of rotation; it serves only to separate the centers of rotation.

Consider a bicycle where the large central gear has a radius of 4 inches and the small back gear has a radius of 2 inches.

Part A : How many inches would a point on the outer edge of the large gear travel in a 150º rotation?

Part B : What degree of rotation will the small gear undergo when a point on its outer edge travels the same linear distance determined in part A?

Part C : If the center of the small gear is rigidly attached to the center of a bicycle wheel with a radius of 10 inches, how many inches will the bicycle travel with a single rotation of the large gear?

Part D: How does the distance you determined in part C change if the radius of the small gear is 1.5 inches and the radius of the large gear is 4.5 inches?

The large gear attached to the pedals connected to the smaller gear

attached to the wheel allows the bicycle to travel further per rotation.

Correct responses:

Part A: Approximately 10.47 inches

Part B: 300°The d

Part C: Approximately 125.66 inches

Part D: The distance traveled increases by approximately 62.83 inches

<h3 /><h3>Methods used to calculate the above values</h3>

Given:

The radius of the large central gear, <em>r</em> = 4 inches

Radius of the small gear = 2 inches

Part A:

The distance travelled by the larger gear when the angle of rotation is 150° is given as follows;

\displaystyle Distance \ travelled \ by \ larger \ gear = \mathbf{\frac{150^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 2 \times \pi \times  4 \, inches} = \frac{10}{3} \cdot \pi \ inches

  • \displaystyle Distance \ traveled \ by \ the \ outer \ edge = \frac{10}{3} \cdot \pi \ inches  \approx \underline{ 10.47 \ inches}

Part B:

When the small gear travels the same linear distance as the large gear in part A, we have;

\displaystyle Degree \ of \ rotation = \frac{\frac{10}{3} \cdot \pi }{2 \times \pi \times  2 } \times 360^{\circ}= 300^{\circ}

  • The degree of rotation of the small gear = <u>300°</u>

Part C:

The distance travelled, <em>C</em>, by a single rotation of the large gear is given as follows;

C = 2 × π × 4 inches = 8·π inches

The degree of rotation of the smaller gear following one rotation of the large gear is therefore;

Degree  \ of \ rotation = \displaystyle \frac{8\cdot \pi \ inches}{4 \cdot \pi \ inches } \times 360^{\circ} = \mathbf{ 720^{\circ}}

720° = 2 × 360°

1 complete rotation is equivalent to 360°.

Therefore'

720° is equivalent to two complete rotation.

Therefore, the smaller gear and the wheel rotates twice for each rotation of the large gear

The distance the bicycle travels = 2 × The circumference of the wheel

Therefore;

Distance traveled by the bicycle = 2 × 2 × π × 10 inches = 40·π inches

  • Distance traveled by the bicycle = 40·π inches ≈ <u>125.66 inches</u>

Part D:

If the radius of the small gear is 1.5 inches and the radius of the large gear is 4.5 inches, we have;

Number of rotation of the small gear for each rotation of the large gear = 3 rotations

Therefore, number of rotation of the wheel = 3

Distance the bicycle travels = 3 × 2 × π × 10 inches = 60·π inches

The difference in distance traveled = 60·π inches - 40·π inches = 20·π inches

  • The distance traveled by the bicycle increases by 20·π inches ≈ <u>62.83 inches</u>

Larry has a gift card worth 400 for a local entertainment store Movies cost $20 each and newly released video games cost $50 eac
Vikki [24]

Answer:

All are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of movies and y be the number of newly released video games.

Larry has a gift card worth 400 for a local entertainment store Movies cost $20 each and newly released video games cost $50 each.

20x+50y\leq 400

Larry must purchase at least nine items.

x+y\geq 9

Check both inequalities of all given ordered pairs.

For (5,6),

20(5)+50(6)\leq 400\Rightarrow 400\leq 400

5+6\geq 9\Rightarrow 16\geq 9

Point (5,6) satisfy both inequalities.

For (10,4),

20(10)+50(4)\leq 400\Rightarrow 400\leq 400

10+4\geq 9\Rightarrow 14\geq 9

Point (10,4) satisfy both inequalities.

For (20,0),

20(20)+50(0)\leq 400\Rightarrow 400\leq 400

20+0\geq 9\Rightarrow 20\geq 9

Point (20,0) satisfy both inequalities.

For (15,2),

20(15)+50(2)\leq 400\Rightarrow 400\leq 400

15+2\geq 9\Rightarrow 17\geq 9

Point (15,2) satisfy both inequalities.

Therefore, all combination of movies and newly released video games Larry could purchase using his gift card.

A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 40° F. Af
fgiga [73]

Answer:

53.3324

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a  thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 40° F.

By Newton law of cooling we have

T(t) = T+(T_0-T)e^{-kt}

where T (t) is temperature at time t,T =surrounding temperature = 40, T0 =70 = initial temperature

After half minute thermometer reads 60° F. Using this we can find k

T(0,5) = 40+(70-40)e^{-k/2} = 60\\e^{-k/2} =2/3\\-k/2 = -0.4055\\k = 0.8110

So equation is

T(t) = 40+(30)e^{-0.8110t}\\

When t=1,

we get

T(1) = 40+(30)e^{-0.8110}\\\\=53.3324

F(x) = - |x| +4 Define the key features of the graph to the provided absolute value function
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

1. The minus before the |x| reflects the function in the x-axis. So it will still be V-shaped but instead but refected in the x-axis.

2. The +4 moves the function vertically 4 units upwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function  f(x) = - |x| +4. We know that the function f(x) = |x| only has positive values, so when x>0 the function is a straight line as in the function f(x) = x. When x<0 the function is also positive, as in the function f(x) = -x. So the graph is V-shaped with the vertex at the origin.

The f(x) = - |x| +4 has two important caracteristics:

1. The minus before the |x| reflects the function in the x-axis. So it will still be V-shaped but instead but refected in the x-axis.

2. The +4 moves the function vertically 4 units upwards.

So the graph of f(x) = - |x| +4 will be V-shaped, reflected in the x-axis and moved 4 units upwards.

Attached you can find the graph
