- The population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardTsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forward
- The carbon content of machine steel for gages usually ranges from 0.15% to 0.25%. Round the answers for a and b to 2 decimal places. a. What is the minimum weight of carbon in 250 kilograms of machine steel? b. What is the maximum weight of carbon in 250 kilograms of machine steel?arrow_forwardFind the unknown value. 27. y varies jointly with x and the cube root of 2. If when x=2 and z=27,y=12, find y if x=5 and z=8.arrow_forwardBenoît Clapeyron combined Boyle's Gas Law with several other gas laws to create the Ideal Gas Law. The Ideal Gas Law states that the volume (V) of a gas varies directly with its temperature (T) and inversely with its Pressure (P). 500 ml of hydrogen gas is at 50 degrees Celsius and under 75 Pascals of pressure. What will the volume of the gas be when the temperature is 100 degrees Celsius and the pressure is 30 Pascals? answer choices 2500 ml 25,000 ml 250 ml 100 mlarrow_forward
- d is varied directly w with and inversely with parrow_forwardHooke's law states that the distance a spring stretches varies directly as the weight on the spring. Let d represent the distance (in inches) the spring stretches, let wrepresent the weight (in pounds) on the spring, and let k be the constant of proportionality. Write an equation that relates d to w. d = A weight of 50 pounds stretches a spring 8 inches. Use the equation that relates d to w and the known information to find k. k = How far (in inches) will a weight of 120 pounds stretch the spring? inarrow_forwardFind all the values of (3)Ti.arrow_forward
