Disappearing Mothball The rate at which the volume of a mothball evaporates from solid to gas is proportional to the surface area of the ball. Suppose a mothball has been observed at one time to have a radius of 0.5 in. and, six months later, a radius of 0.25 in. (a) Express the radius of the mothball as a function of time. (b) When will the mothball disappear completely?

Differential Equations

Have you ever observed the movement of the satellites and rockets or how the planets go around the sun in their orbits? How will you determine their motion? Definitely they follow some scientific laws and these kinds of problems are framed as differential equations.
