Consider the projectile of Section 2.3. (a) Assuming there is no air resistance, write down the position (x, y) as a function of t, and eliminate t to give the trajectory y as a function of x. (b) The correct trajectory, including a linear drag force, is given by (2.37). Show that this reduces to you

Epinephrine initiates a signal transduction pathway that involves production of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and leads to the breakdown of glycogen to glucose, a major energy source for cells. But glycogen breakdown is actually only part of the fight-or- flight response that epinephrine brings about; the overal

Diesel Cost and Market Areas Consider Figure 23 , which shows the market areas of sugar-beet processing plants. Suppose that an increase in the price of diesel fuel doubles the cost of hauling sugar beets from farms to processing plants. Modify Figure 23 to show the effects of higher transport costs.
