Question
When an object is thrown straight up into the air, Newton's Second Law of Motion states that its height s (t) at time tis given by s(t) = s0 + v0t + tgt2 where v0 is its initial velocity and g is the constant of acceleration due to gravity. Suppose we take the measurements shown in Table . (a) Find the least squares approximating quadratic for these data. (b)Estimate the height at which the object was released (in m), its initial velocity (in mis), and its acceleration due to gravity (in m/s2). (c) Approximately when will the object hit the ground

- When a bus pass from Albuquerque to Los Alamos is priced at p dollars, a bus company takes in a monthly revenue of R(p) = 1.5p − 0.01p2 (in thousands of dollars). (a) Estimate R if the price rises from $50 to $53. (b) If p = 80, how will revenue be affected by a small increase in price? Explain using the Linear Approximation.arrow_forward"Hand-in question": While biking, the force of air resistance F (mass times length, per time- squared) appears to be positively related to the speed v (length per time) at which the bike travels and the cross-sectional area A (length-squared) of bike and biker. However, the force involves mass and hence cannot depend on v and A alone. Let the force also depend on the air density p (mass per length-cubed). Hence, the force F can be expressed as some multiplicative combination of v, A and p, that is F = kv" Aª p², for k E R. Find the values of r, y and z that result in the above equation being dimensionally consistent.arrow_forwardA linear second-order non-homogeneous equation models this scenario: People falling at a height of 100ft above the ground attached to a 100-foot rope into a pit that's 25 ft deep and 75 feet from ground level.

- The "Yaw Damper System" provides airplane stabilization about the yaw axis. The Yaw Damper minimizes dutch roll during flight by providing rudder displacement proportional to, and opposing, the yaw rate of the airplane. Transfer function of the yaw damper is taken as: 4.833 yaw rate rudder angle (s+0.551)(s+0.1 ±0.541*i) (s+0.616)(s +0.058+ i)(s+0.007) a) Give a brief knowledge about yaw dampers. b) Draw and interpret "root-locus" graphic of this transfer function. c) Draw and interpret the yaw rate distribution according to time.arrow_forwardIn a study conducted at Dartmouth College, mice with a particular type of cancerous tumor were treated with a chemotherapy drug called Cisplatin.
