Youngs Bay Astoria (Jan 1, 2015) Low Tide 3:26 am2.8 ft High Tide 9:59 am9.6 ft

ACCORDING TO YOUR MODEL: WHAT TIME DO YOU EXPECT THE LOW TIDE TO BE? WHAT TIME DO YOU EXPECT THE HIGH TIDE TO BE?

State a sine or cosine function to model the low and high tides in Youngs Bay. Show a complete solution that includes all your calculations. Plot the given points. Graph the function on the same grid… include a 24-hour cycle. Using the context of the problem state what each component of the equation represent.

Repeat the process: Youngs Bay Astoria (Jan 5, 2015) Low Tide 7:09 am3 ft High Tide 1:39 am8.4 ft

Winter Solstice: marks the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere and longest day in the southern hemisphere. But the earliest sunset – or earliest sunrise if you’re south of the equator – happens before the solstice. The north polar region of Earth is in 24-hour darkness, while the south polar region is in 24-hour daylight

summer Solstice : marks the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere and shortest day in the southern hemisphere. But the earliest sunset. The north polar region of Earth is in 24- hour daylight, while the south polar region is in 24-hour darkness.

Vernal and Autumn Equinox the time at which the sun crosses the plane of the equator towards the relevant hemisphere, making day and night of equal length. It occurs about March 21 in the N hemisphere (Sept 23 in the S hemisphere)

Make a list your questions: Consider the data and the questions you might have. We will answer the questions as a class. Then as a group you will work on the questions listed on the next slide.

Determine: The amount of day light expected for Friday Jan 9, The amount of day light expected at the next Vernal Equinox: March 20, The amount of day light expected at your next birthday.
