Logan is playing on her swing. One full swing (front to back to front) takes 6 seconds and at the peak of her swing she is at an angle of 42掳with the vertical. If her swing is 5 feet long, and we ignore all resistive forces, build a model that relates her horizontal displacement (from the rest position) after time t.

The angle of elevation of the Sun is 35.1掳 at the instant the shadow cast by the Washington Monument is 789 feet long. Use this information to calculate the height of the monument.

Constructing a Highway A highway whose primary directions are north-south is being constructed along the west coast of Florida. Near Naples, a bay obstructs the straight path of the road. Since the cost of a bridge is prohibitive, engineers decide to go around the bay. The illustration shows the path that they decide on and the measurements taken. What is the length of highway needed to go around the bay?

Commercial Navigation Adam must fly home to St. Louis from a business meeting in Oklahoma City. One flight option flies directly to St. Louis, a distance of about 461.1 miles. A second flight option flies first to Kansas City and then connects to St. Louis. The bearing from Oklahoma City to Kansas City is N29.6掳E, and the bearing from Oklahoma City to St. Louis is N57.7掳E. The bearing from St. Louis to

Oklahoma City is S57.7掳W, and the bearing from St. Louis to Kansas City is N79.4掳W. How many more frequent flyer miles will Adam receive if he takes the connecting flight rather than the direct flight?
