  1. Section 6.5.2 – Ratio, Proportion, Variation Using the Vocabulary

  2. Neglecting air resistance, the distance an object falls (s) varies directly as the square of the duration (t) of the fall. An object falls a distance of 144 feet in 3 seconds. How far will it fall in 5 seconds?

  3. The stopping distance (d) of an automobile is directly proportional to the square of its speed (s). A car required 75 feet to stop when its speed was 30 miles per hour. Find the stopping distance if the brakes are applied when the car is traveling at 50 miles per hour.

  4. A company has found that the demand (d) for its product varies inversely as the price of the product (p). When the price is $3.75, the demand is 500 units. Approximate the demand when the price is $4.25.

  5. The distance a spring is stretched (or compressed) (D)varies directly as the force on the spring (F). A force of 220 newtons stretches a spring 0.12 meters. What force is required to stretch the spring 0.16 meters?

  6. The stopping distance (d) of an automobile is directly proportional to the square of its speed (s). A car required 75 feet to stop when its speed was 30 mph. Estimate the stopping distance if the brakes are applied when the car is traveling at 50 mph.

  7. Property tax is based on the assessed value of the property. A house that has an assessed value (v) of $150,000 has a property tax (t) of $5520. Find the property tax on a house that has an assessed value of $200,000

  8. The maximum load (L) that can be safely supported by a horizontal beam varies jointly as the width of the beam (w) and the square of its depth (d), and inversely as the length of the beam (x). a) Determine the change in the maximum safe load if the width and length of the beam are doubled. There is no change to the maximum safe load.

  9. The maximum load (L) that can be safely supported by a horizontal beam varies jointly as the width of the beam (w) and the square of its depth (d), and inversely as the length of the beam (x). b) Determine the change in the maximum safe load if the width and depth of the beam are doubled The maximum safe load becomes eight times the original maximum safe load.

  10. The maximum load (L) that can be safely supported by a horizontal beam varies jointly as the width of the beam (w) and the square of its depth (d), and inversely as the length of the beam (x). c) Determine the change in the maximum safe load if all three dimensions are doubled. The maximum safe load becomes four times the original maximum safe load.

  11. The maximum load (L) that can be safely supported by a horizontal beam varies jointly as the width of the beam (w) and the square of its depth (d), and inversely as the length of the beam (x). d) Determine the change in the maximum safe load if the depth of the beam is halved. The maximum safe load becomes one-fourth the original maximum safe load.
