| Math 103 Final Project – Parts 1, 2, and 3 | | | Math 103 Instructor: Toni Robertson December 11, 2010 Math 103 Instructor: Toni Robertson December 11, 2010 Part 1: 1a. What is the shortest loan (36 months, 48 months, 60 months or 72 months) that has a monthly payment within your $500 budget that will allow you to buy the $15,000 car? Answer: Through Bank of America, I found a rate of 2.99% for the 36, 48 and 60 month loans. We are able to put down 20% and will need to finance $12,000. The shortest loan period for the $15,000 car that would be under our $500 limit is the 36 month loan at a rate of $348.93 per month.
They are placed in the plane’s tail and are constructed to be very durable- they can withstand 1800-degree heat for up to 30 minutes, which is far more than what they would have been through in the World Trade Center crashes. All of the devices from Flight 77 and Flight 93 were recovered. On Flight 77 only the data recorder was salvaged and the voice recorder was too damaged to retrieve information from. Flight 93’s voice recorder survived and the data recorder was damaged beyond recovery. The FBI reported to the Commission that none of the devices were recovered from the two planes that hit the World Trade Center.
Theorists claim that the extremely high levels of radiation would have cooked the astronauts if they had gone through it. 4. Slow Motion walking. In order to explain how NASA mimicked the low gravity conditions on the moon theorists contend wires and hidden cables were used to show the astronauts floating
This planet is two-thirds of our moon and it is the largest rock in the Kuiper belt. After the discovery of Pluto, Scientist thought that it was too small to rotate around the sun. Pluto has not been visited by a spacecraft yet. It is so far that only the Hubble space telescope can see it; but it can only see its largest features. A spacecraft, named Horizon, launched in 2006, and it will hopefully reach Pluto in 2015.
The craft landed later that same day only 15 minutes and 22 seconds later. Data During the flight, Mercury Redstone 3 Freedom 7 attained a maximum velocity of 8,200 km/hour and an altitude of 186.4 km. The capsule landed 483 km downrange from Cape Canaveral in the Atlantic Ocean. Shepard experienced a maximum g-force of 6 during the booster acceleration phase of the mission and slightly less than 12 on re-entry. The duration of the flight was 15 minutes and 22 seconds with weightlessness lasting about 5 minutes.
Americans have become somewhat depressed and fearful. It is difficult to have adventuresome spirits while struggling to meet basic needs. If further space exploration, including that of Mars, can be proven to provide jobs and improve the economy, then Americans will be in favor of this. However, most people desire tangible proof. The people who are in favor of continuing the Mars exploration program are quick to point out that if every cent of the money allocated to their program were to be applied to the federal deficit, it would not even make a dent.
According to MOP two of the first four people sent will be doctors. The astronauts will undergo 8 years of training for the mission. The time it will take for them to get to mars is roughly seven months, so the traveling time is far less than the training program. Living on Mars is comparable to living in a desert form of Antarctica. The people on Mars can expect to see a desert environment.
The astronauts reduced their consumption of drinking water to six ounces per day and their consumption of electricity by 80 percent. However, the lunar module's lithium hydroxide cartridges that removed carbon dioxide from the air would last only about 50 hours, and those from the command module were not designed to fit Aquarius. Therefore, engineers on the ground devised a makeshift adapter scheme, radioing to Apollo 13 instructions on how to attach the cartridges from the command module to the lunar module hoses. During the morning of April 15, Apollo 13 entered the region of gravitational influence of Earth, at a distance from Earth's surface of 216,277 miles. Calculations showed that the speeded-up trajectory needed an additional refinement, and so the lunar module descent propulsion system was again ignited.
In 1958, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created (Timeline of Space Exploration 1). President John F. Kennedy decided he wanted to do something big before The United States lost the space race. He decided to invest a lot of time and money into putting the first man on the moon (Sorensen 1). A series of missions known as Apollo were announced to help put man on the moon. On the mission Apollo 11 in 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin become the first men to walk on the moon, while Michael Collins orbits around the moon alone (Timeline of Space Exploration 2).
Explorer 1 had an orbital life cycle of about twelve years, and mission duration of four months. Upon re-entry to earth in 1970, it had completed an astounding 58,000 orbits around the Earth. At the same time as the Vanguard rockets (the satellites proceeding Explorer 1), President Eisenhower and the rest of his cabinet were trying to decide under which agency this new “space” issue fell under the jurisdiction of, to which they found no answer. President Eisenhower instated the National Aeronautics and Space Act which was the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or more commonly known as NASA. NASA would go on to become the most influential organisation in the world in relation to anything space related.
