A two-lane tunnel opening in the shape of a semi-ellipse has a height of 16 feet and a width of 32 feet.

a) Determine an equation that represents the tunnel opening.

b) Explain with appropriate mathematical work and complete sentences whether a truck that has a height of 14 feet and a width of 8 feet can safely'enter the tunnel without crossing into the other lane of traffic and do not touch the sidewall. Assume the road is centered in the tunnel and the width of one lane is 12 feet.

Two ramps, each with the same shape angle, and height from the base contain two different objects. One ramp has a solid sphere located at the top while the other ramp has a solid cube located at the top. The mass of the sphere is equal to the mass of the cube. The objects are released from the same height. The sphere rolls without slipping, and the cube travels without friction. After leaving the ramp, which object will travel higher?...
