A jumping spider's movement is modeled by a parabola. The spider makes a single jump from the origin and reaches a maximum height of 10 mm halfway across a horizontal distance of 80 mm.

Part A: Write the equation of the parabola in standard form that models the spider's jump. Show your work. (4 points)

Part B: Identify the focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry of the parabola. (6 points)

Answers

Answer 1

The spider's movement is an illustration of a parabola.

The equation of the parabola is: [tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{320}(x - 80)^2 + 20}[/tex]The focus of the parabola is [tex]\mathbf{Focus = (80 ,-60)}[/tex]The directrix is: [tex]\mathbf{y = 100}[/tex].The axis of symmetry is: [tex]\mathbf{x = 80}[/tex]

(a) The equation

The spider passes through the origin.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) = (0,0)}[/tex]

The spider jumps to a maximum height of 20mm, midway 160mm.

So, the vertex is:

[tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (80,20)}[/tex]

The equation of a parabola is:

[tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0 = a(0 - 80)^2 + 20}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{0 = 6400a + 20}[/tex]

Subtract 20 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{6400a =- 20}[/tex]

Solve for a

[tex]\mathbf{a =- \frac{1}{320}}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{a =- \frac{1}{320}}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (80,20)}[/tex] in [tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{320}(x - 80)^2 + 20}[/tex]

(b) The focus, directrix and the axis of symmetry

The focus of a parabola is:

[tex]\mathbf{Focus = (h,k+p)}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\mathbf{p = \frac{1}{4a}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{p = \frac{1}{4\times -1/320}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{p = -\frac{320}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{p = -80}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{Focus = (80 , 20-80)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Focus = (80 ,-60)}[/tex]

The axis of symmetry is:

[tex]\mathbf{x = h}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 80}[/tex]

The directrix is:

[tex]\mathbf{y = k - p}\\[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y = 20+80}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 100}[/tex]

Answer:

The answer is D) 12

 

There are two trips, but the distances are the same.

Trip #1: uphill, at 9 mph

Trip #2: downhill at 18 mph

Total round trip is 30 minutes.

Since he's going half the speed uphill, Trip #1 takes twice as long as Trip #2.

So if the time for Trip #2 is x, then the time for Trip #1 is 2x.

     x + 2x = 30, so x=10

Trip #2 takes 10 minutes.

Trip #1 takes 20 minutes.

Trip #1: 20 minutes at 9 mph = 3 miles

Trip #2: 10 minutes at 18 mph = 3 miles

This means his school is 3 miles away.

If you want an equation to solve,

Let d = distance to school.  We use d = r·t formula to set up that t = d/r

let t1 = time going to school and t2 = times going home

t1 + t2 = 30 and t1 = d/9 and t2 = d/18.

    d/9 + d/18 = 0.5    (it's 0.5, because we need the time in hours)

      mutiply both sides b 18

    2d + d = 9

     3d = 9

       d = 3

2x = x +3

24 followed by 4 zeros = 24 x 104

Just make the number of zeroes be the exponent for 10

24 = 24 x 10^0

240 = 24 x 10^1

2400 = 24 x 10^2

24000 = 24 x 10^3

find T1 and T2, if a 60 N load is hanged and in equilibrium position.​

Answers

Answers:

T1 = 59.5677879151077 N

T2 = 45.7583538175564  N

The values are approximate. Round the values however you need to.

=========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. I have added red and blue lines to break up each tension vector into the x and y components. For tension T1 in red, we have x1 and y1 as the horizontal and vertical components respectively. Note that x1 points to the left and y1 points upward.

For T2 in blue, we have x2 point to the right and y2 point upward. The horizontal components x1 and x2 must be equal, and point in opposite directions, so that we have horizontal balance. Otherwise, the object would accelerate to one side rather than be stationary.

Applying a bit of trig, we can say

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(45) = (x1)/(T1)

x1 = T1*cos(45)

and also

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(67) = (x2)/(T2)

x2 = T2*sin(67)

----------------------

Again, the x1 and x2 vectors must be equal in magnitude, allowing us to say this

x1 = x2

T1*cos(45) = T2*sin(67)

T1 = T2*sin(67)/cos(45)

which we'll use later.

----------------------

Doing a bit more trig set up, we know that

sin(45) = (y1)/(T1)

y1 = T1*sin(45)

and

cos(67) = (y2)/(T2)

y2 = T2*cos(67)

Adding those two y components together will yield the total upward force that the ropes apply

y1+y2 = T1*sin(45)+T2*cos(67)

y1+y2 = (T2*sin(67)/cos(45))*sin(45)+T2*cos(67)

y1+y2 = T2*( sin(67)*sin(45)/cos(45) + cos(67) )

y1+y2 = T2*( sin(67)*tan(45) + cos(67) )

y1+y2 = T2*( sin(67)*1 + cos(67) )

y1+y2 = T2*( sin(67) + cos(67) )

This combined upward pull must be equal to 60 newtons or else we wouldn't have vertical equilibrium. If the upward pull was smaller than the downward pull, then the object would be falling. If the other way around, then the object would be pulled upward at some accelerated speed (think of a spring action).

So we'll set y1+y2 equal to 60 and solve for T2

y1+y2 = 60

T2*( sin(67) + cos(67) ) = 60

T2 = 60/( sin(67) + cos(67) )

T2 = 45.7583538175564

That value is approximate. The units for T2 are in newtons. This is the amount of pull or force along the T2 line in the upper right direction.

Side note: make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

----------------------

The last thing to do is to compute T1

T1 = T2*sin(67)/cos(45)

T1 = 45.7583538175564*sin(67)/cos(45)

T1 = 59.5677879151077

That value is approximate as well. The units are also newtons here. This represents the amount of pull in the upper left direction as the diagram shows.

----------------------

Finding such values for T1 and T2 is useful to determine if a rope can handle a certain stress load. Let's say we had a rope that was rated for only 40 newtons. Anything beyond 40 N for this hypothetical rope would mean the rope breaks. We found T1 and T2 beyond this threshold which would indicate that such a rope isn't up to the task of holding this object up (at least not with the angles shown in the diagram).

When using empirical data (data and information collected by scientists in an experiment), sometimes, that data will not form a perfect line on a graph. When this happens, the line that is created using a linear regression is known as the “Line of Best Fit.” The following speed data was collected from a car moving with a constant acceleration.

Time (s) Velocity (m/s)
2 13.1
4 19.8
6 28.1
8 34.6
What is the Line of Best Fit for this data? Perform a linear Regression on this table to find the equation.

Lets find the slope of the graph for Jennifer's record.  THe slope represents her rate.

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

 Lets use the first two points.

 Slope = (8 - 5) / 64 - 40)

         = 3 / 24

         = 1 / 8

Use the second and third points.

 Slope = (10 - 8) / (80 - 64)

        = 2 / 16

        = 1 / 8

Last points.

 Slope = (12 - 10) / (96 - 80)

        = 2 / 16

        = 1 / 8

 The slopes are constant.  

 Now we compare the slopes.  Use the LCD to compare fractions.  

1 / 9 = 8 / 72

 1 / 8 = 9 / 72

 9 / 72 > 8 / 72

You have to find the value of y. So, make the y as the Subject

[tex]x = 2y + 9 \\ x - 9 = 2y \\ \frac{x - 9}{2} = \frac{2y}{2} \\ \frac{x - 9}{2} = y[/tex]
