MATHEMATICS, SURVEYING TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PART 1 of 2 1. (Algebra) “The intensity of the earthquake and the Reference intensity are related by the formula: . ‘An earthquake in San Francisco in 1989 was reported to have a Richter number of 6.90. How does the intensity of the earthquake compare with the reference Intensity? 2. (Geometry) An icicle forming from a dripping gutter is in the shape of a cone five times as long as it is width (at the top). A Few hours later it has doubled in length and the generating angle has also doubled. How does its present weight compare with its previous weight? 3. (Physics) During Baseball practice, a batter hits a very high fly ball and ‘then runs in a straight line and then catches it. Which had the greater displacement, the player or the ball? ‘A) The batter and the ball has the same displacement. B) The batter has greater displacement than the ball C) The ball has agreater displacement than the batter. D) The ball and the batter have the same distance travelled. 4. (Traffic Engineering) The purpose of installing edge lines is generally is based on the following except: 1 Te Discourage travel en road shoulders I To make diving safer and more assured, particulady at night and during inclement weather by a continuous guide for the driver. WL To act a5 a guide past objects which are close to the ‘edge of the pavement and which constitute a hazard IV. Te prevent parking at or near intersections 5. (Engineering Economy) —_Given the following data: FC=P600 000 ‘SV=P60 000 Life=5 years. Using the Modified Acccelerated Cost Recovery System Mezhod (MACRS). Compute the depreciation on the 3" year6. (Algebra) Strontium-90 is a waste product from nuclear reactors. As a consequence of fallout from atmospheric nuclear tests, we all have measurable amount of strontium-90 in our bones. ‘The half life of strontium-90 is 28 years, meaning that after 28 years a given amount of substance will have decayed to half the original amount ‘Suppose that a nuclear accident occurs and releases 60 grams of Strontium-90 into the atmosphere, How long will it take for strontium-90 to decay to a level of 10 grams? T. (Algebra) The Galapagos Islands, tying 600 miles west of the equador, are famed for their extraordinary wildlife. ‘The function (A)=28.5 / models the number of plant species, {(A), on the various islands of the Galapagos chain in terms of, the area, A, in square miles of a particular island ee ee EE has an area of 8 square miles: 5 alge SRE tl Frnt reas en, ratiaeSve aaa carried through the atmosphere. ‘One immediate concer was the impact that the debris had on the milk supply. The percent y of the radioactive material in raw milk after t days is estimated by y=100(2.7) @"! Estimate the expected percemt of radioactive material in the milk after 30 days. 9. (Algebra) Given that the half-life of T of radium is 1690 years. How much will the remain of one gram of radium after 1000 years?10. (Algebra) The maximum weight that a rectangular beam can support varies jointly as its width and the square of the height and inversely as its length Ia beam % foot wide, 1/3 foot high and 10 feet long can support 12 tons, Find how much a similar beam can suppor if the beam is 2 foot wide ‘4 foot high and 16 feet long. 11. (Algebra) Acme cor rental agency charges $4 a day pus $0.15 per rile, jereas Interstate rental agency charges $20 a day and $0.05 vo mie, How many miles must be driven to make the daily cost of an Acme rental a better deal than an Interstate rental? 12. (Algebra) The intensity of the radiation passing through a lead shield is reduced to 3% of the original intensity if the value of k is 2.1. Use the formuta In I/la= 4: Find its depth. 13. (Algebra) Athow many minutes after 3 p.m. will the hands of the clock be perpendicular to each other for the first time after 3 p.m.? 14. (Algebra) A local computer store is having a sale. After 30% price reduction, You purchase a new computer for $980. What was the computer's price before reduction? 15. (Algebra) America West Airlines has 3 models of Boeing aircraft in their fleet. The 737-300 contains 21 more seats than the 737-200. The 757-200 contains 36 less seats than twice the number of seats in 737-200. Find the number of seats for each aircraft if the total number of seats for the three models is 437.
