Pluto's distance P(t)(in billions of kilometers) from the sun as a function of time t (in years) can be modeled by a sinusoidal expression of the form a.sin(b.t)d
At year t=0, Pluto is at its average distance from the sun, which is 6.9 billion kilometers. In 66 years, it is at its closest point to the sun, which is 4.4 billion kilometers away.
Find P(t)

6.) According to Kepler's Laws, planets have elliptical orbits, with the sun at one of the foci. The farthest Pluto gets from the sun is 7.4 billion kilometers. The closest it gets to the sun is 4.4 billion kilometers. Find the equation of Pluto's orbit assuming a center at (0,0). 7.) An arch in the shape of the upper half of an ellipse is used to support a bridge that is to span a river 20 meters wide. The center...
For the following exercises, use Kepler's Law, which states that the square of the time, T (measured in Earth years), required for a planet to orbit the Sun varies directly with the cube of the mean distance, a (measured in billions of miles), that the planet is from the Sun. a. Use Mars's time of 2 and mean distance of 0.142 billion miles, find the equation relating T and a. (Enter an equation in terms of T and a. Round...
Solving Direct Variation Problems For the following exercises, use Kepler's Law, which states that the square of the time, T (measured in Earth years), required for a planet to orbit the Sun varies directly with the cube of the mean distance, a (measured in billions of kilometers), that the planet is from the Sun. a. Use Uranus's time of 84 and mean distance of 2.871 billion kilometers, find the equation relating T and a. (Enter an equation in terms of...

Take x to be an output of the function D. (a) Which statement best describes D™G)? xs ? His distance from Glen City (in kilometers) after he has walked x hours. The ratio of the amount of time he has walked in hours) to his distance...
Hungry Harry is a giant ogre with an even bigger appetite After Harry wakes up from hibernation, his daily hunger Ht) (in kg of pigs) as a function of time t (in hours) can be modeled by a sinusoidal expression of the form a cos(b.t) + d. When Harry wakes up at t=0, his hunger is at a maximum, and he desires 30 kg of pigs. Within 2 hours, his hunger subsides to its minimum, when he only desires 15...

Example 4.3 A Bull's-Eye Every Time In a popular lecture demonstration, a projectile is fired at a target in such a way that the projectile leaves the gun at the same time the target is dropped from rest. Show that if the gun is initially aimed at the stationary target, the projectile hits the falling target as shown in figure (a). The velocity of the projectile (red arrows) changes in direction and magnitude, but its acceleration (purple arrows) remains constant....
(1 point) A stone is thrown from a rooftop at time t 0 seconds. Its position at time t (the components are measured in meters) is given by r()-бі-50+ (24.5-49:2) k. The origin is at the base of the bulding, which is standing on flat ground. Distance is measured in meters. The vector i points east,j points north, and k points up. (a) How high is the rooftop? meters. (b) When does the stone hit the ground? seconds (c) Where...
