The drawing shows a skateboarder moving at 6.60 m/s along a horizontal section of a track that is slanted upward by θ = 52.0° above the horizontal at its end, which is 0.700 m above the ground. When she leaves the track, she follows the characteristic path of projectile motion. Ignoring friction and air resistance, find the maximum height H to which she rises above the end of the track.

Demand can be estimated with experimental data, time-series data, or cross-section data. In this case, cross-section data appear in the Excel file. Soft drink consumption in cans per capita per year is related to six-pack price, income per capita, and mean temperature across the 48 contiguous states in the United States. Given the data, please construct the demand estimation for soft drink consumption in the United States by (1) a multiple-linear regression equation, and (2) a log-linear (exponential) regression equation...

Candice was a high school student on the track team and training for her upcoming cross-country meet. She woke up bright and early to complete a 10-mile run. Her workout ended up taking her a little longer than usual and she was sweating profusely. As Candice cooled down from her run, Candice’s Mom yelled from the kitchen, “Candice, your breakfast is ready! Come eat. You look so pale!” “Oh, really? I’m starving; maybe that’s why? What did you make?” “Your...

An accelerator produces a beam of protons with a circular cross section that is 1.6 mm in diameter and has a current of 1 mA. The current density is uniformly distributed throughout the beam. The kinetic energy of each proton is 20 MeV. The beam strikes a metal target and is absorbed by the target. 1) What is the number density of the protons in the beam? 2) How many protons strike the target in each minute? 3) What is...

A water trough is 8 m long and has a cross-section in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid that is 30 cm wide at the bottom, 80 cm wide at the top, and has height 50 cm. If the trough is being filled with water at the rate of 0.1 m3/min how fast is the water level rising when the water is 40 cm deep?
