Modeling circular motion, picture attached to the question. the boat is traveling at a rate of 1 meter per second. how long does it take the barnacle to get back to its starting point?

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle of radius r is given by

... C = 2πr

When r = 1 m, then

... C = 2π(1 m) = 2π m

The relation between time, distance, and speed is ...

... time = distance/speed

... time = (2π m)/(1 m/s) = 2π s

Comment on the scenario

We have a hard time imagining what sort of scenario this is modeling, as it appears the "boat" is rotating in such a way as to place the barnacle above and below the water level. This problem may be nonsensical, but at least it is workable. (Some aren't.)

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
