In Example 2 we considered the function W = f(T, v), where W is the wind-chill index, T is the actual temperature, and v is the wind speed. A numerical representation is given in Table 1 on page 889.
(a) What is the value of f(−15.40)? What is its meaning?
(b) Describe in words the meaning of the question “For what value of o is f(−20, v) = −30?” Then answer the question.
(c) Describe in words the meaning of the question “For what value of T is f(T, 20) = −49?” Then answer the question.
(d) What is the meaning of the function W = f(−5, v)? Describe the behavior of this function.
(e) What is the meaning of the function W = f(T, 50)? Describe the behavior of this function.

- In the previous Problem Set question, we started looking at the position functions (t), the position of an object at time t. Two important physics concepts are the velocity and the acceleration. If the current position of the object at time is as (t), then the position at time h later is a (t+h). The average velocity (speed) during that additional time his (s(t+h)-s(t)) If we want to analyze the instantaneous velocity at time t, this can be made into a mathematical model by taking the limit as h→0. i.e. the derivative a' (t). Use this function in the model below for the velocity function (). h The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so using the same logic, the acceleration function a(t) can be modeled with the derivative of the velocity function, or the second derivative of the position function a(t) = ✔ (t) =" (t).
