Get started for freeA state trooper is hidden 30 feet from a highway. One second after a truck passes, the angle between the highway and the line of observation from the patrol car to the truck is measured. See the illustration.
(a) If the angle measures 15°, how fast is the truck traveling? Express the answer in feet per second and in miles per hour.
(b) If the angle measures 20°, how fast is the truck traveling? Express the answer in feet per second and in miles per hour.
(c) If the speed limit is 55 miles per hour and a speeding ticket is issued for speeds of 5 miles per hour or more over the limit, for what angles should the trooper issue a ticket?
An object of mass m (in grams) attached to a coiled spring with damping factor b (in grams per second) is pulled down a distance a (in centimeters) from its rest position and then released. Assume that the positive direction of the motion is up and the period is T (in seconds) under simple harmonic motion.
(a) Develop a model that relates the distance d of the object from its rest position after t seconds.
(b) Graph the equation found in part (a) for 5 oscillations using a graphing utility.
