1) Determine how much you will have to save each month at 3, 6, 9, and 12 percent compounded monthly for you to accumulate a nest egg for retirement. The variables are current age, age of retirement, nest egg size, and interest rate. Show all work and cite as appropriate.
2) Measure the height of a tree or a street light utilizing trig. Report what you did and how you did it, including all measurements.
3) The kinetic energy of a vehicle is described by KE(v) = (.5*mass)v^2, where V is velocity. Graph the function. What is the percent energy increase if we go from 30 to 40 mph? From 40 to 50? 50 to 60? 60 to 80? How can we provide a safer driving environment and how can we reduce fuel costs? Is there a conflict between the two in all regards, or just one?
