According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the
males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the
world and they've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a hundred meter
dash in 5.85 seconds which human on stimulants doesn't even approach.
a. Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred-meter
statement.
b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in
part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell.
c. How fast would a 250 lb man have to run to have the same momentum you
calculated in part b?
d. How fast would a 4000 lb car have to drive to have the same momentum you
calculated in part b?
I. Two trials were performed in an
experiment to determine the speed of a
turtle in a certain distance, the values of the
turtle obtained 50 cm/s and 120 cm/s. Find
the percent difference between the two
values.
II. The reaction time of a student as
determined by his teammates in the
laboratory are as follows: 2.1s, 1.5 s, 1.9 s,
1.6 s, 1.5 s. Determine the a.) mean b.)
variance c.) standard deviation and d.)
measured student reaction time
At 9:13 A.M., a sports car is traveling 30 miles per hour. Two minutes later, the car is traveling 90 miles per hour. The mean value theorem guarantees that at some time during this two-minute interval, the car's
acceleration is exactly A miles per hour squared. Compute the value of A.
A =
mi/h²
