A Parabolic Arch 2020-09-21
Malen pose la question :
A hotel entrance makes a parabolic arch that can be represented by the quadratic function, y= -x^2-8x+24, where y is the height of the arch and x is the distance from wall to wall in the feet. What is the distance between the two walls of the arch.

icyy pose la question :
how high is the parabolic arch of span 20 feet and height of 16 feet, at a distance 5 feet from the center?
what equation will I be going to use? thank you

A parabolic arch 2017-01-05
Rand pose la question :
It is most likely already been answered but I can not seem to find the right key words for the search engine?.

What I am looking for is, if you have an have arch/arc and you know the degree of slope and the height of the arch/arc from ground lvl; how do you factor the decreasing angle/#’s to get the distance tween the two feet on the assumption that the arch/arc is curved all the way to ground lvl?

a. where the legs widen continuously (till they hit ground) so yes parabolic &
b. where the legs come down straight after a ½ circumference run.

What I am focusing is the parabolic.

Many Thanks

Shooting a ball at a target 2016-02-16
Thys pose la question :
Hi
I have a problem with the formula that i use .(for programming)
I have looked all over the web to find a solution but no luck.
I have a cannon that shoots a ball at a target
I use this formula to calculate what my initial velocity must be to hit the target at a angle of 30 degrees and a distance of 15m (the cannon and target position is known) It works perfectly if both is at same height but if one is higher or lower it miss.

In an example I am working with the range is 30m, the angle is 45 degrees and the target is 10m higher than my position.
Please help
Formula = V0 = √RG / Sin(2α)

A parabolic arch 2015-11-30
Muhammad pose la question :
An arch over a road has a parabolic shape it is 6 meter wide at the base and is just tall enough to allow a truck 5 meter high and 4 meter wide to pass
a): assuming that the arch has an equation of the form y=a(x)^2+b use the given information to find a & b. explain why this assumption is reasonable.
b): sketch the graph of arch equation

A parabolic arch 2012-01-04
Swathi pose la question :
A plan for an arch in the shape of a parabola is drawn on a grid with a scale of 1m per square. The base of the arch is located at the points (0,0) and (15,0). The maximum height of the arch is 18m.

a)Determine the quadratic function that models that arch

b)State the domain and range of the function

Will the ball clear the tree? 2010-11-14
MK pose la question :
Sam hits a golf ball with a five-iron a distance of 120m horizontally. A tree 45m high and 35m in front of Sam is directly in the path of the ball. Will the ball clear the tree if the ball makes a parabolic curve and has a maximum height or 80m?

A student pose la question :
I am trying to figure out how to work this problem as it doesn't have many details.
The problem ask for an equation to satisfy a parabolic arch y = 16 - 0.25x^2 for y>=0.
Find the width w of the arch.

A roadway over a river 2007-03-12
Taranjeet pose la question :
My teacher has given us bridge with only one measurement. From the river to the roadway is 50 metres in length (vertically) The question he wants us to find out is. What is the distance between the vertical supports. He has said that: At a horizontal distance of 'x' metres from the foot of the arch the height of the arch, the height of the arch above the river 'h' metres is given by: h=-1/40(x squared) = 3x I don't understand how to find the distance between the support beams. Thank you

Can the trailer safely pass under the bridge? 2007-01-02
Jim pose la question :
A truck hauling a double-wide trailer needs to pass under a parabolic-arched bridge en route or take a 50 mile detour. The trailer is 14 feet high and 15 feet wide. The arch supporting the bridge at this underpass is 18 feet high at the center and 40 feet wide at the base. Can the trailer safely pass under the bridge?

A fountain of water jets forms parabolic arches 2006-05-03
Jennifer pose la question :
Let's say in you have a fountain and the water jets form parabolic arches. The center of the fountain, being the origin of the coordinate system, it is elevated 5 feet off the ground, . The equation formed the water arch is y= -x2+4x, what is the radius of the basin needed to catch the water at ground level?
