The differential equation governing the velocity of an object is dv = -kv", dt where k > 0 and n are constants. At t = 0, the object is set in motion with velocity vo. Assume vo > 0. (a) Show that the object comes to rest in a finite time if and only if n < 1, and determine the maximum distance travelled by the object in this case. (b) If 1 < n < 2, show that the maximum dis- tance travelled by the object in a finite time is less than 2-n (2 – n)k

Suppose an object is moving with position function given by p(t) -t^3-6t^2-36t. 1. Find the velocity function at v(t) of the object 2. Find all times for which the object is at rest (i.e. has zer velocity) 3. Find the acceleration function at a(t) of the object 4. For which times is the object sppeding up?
3) A researcher has collected population data along with time. Afler comparing the populations from consecutive times, he finds out the population is increasıng and also that in the early slages, the rate of change of the population (derivative with respect to time) is proportional to the population itself aj Find an equation describing this situation. What can you say regarding the coefficient of proportionality (positive or negative)? Explain. b) The rescarcher decides to make a corroction to this cquation by subtracting a constant (the rate of change of the population with respect to time becomes proportional to the population itself minus a constant). Give an expression for the general solution of this equalion.

Jackie and Christine are racing again! We only get some discrete data this time, but we can find the details through calculation! 3 minutes after the race starts, Jackie is 12 miles away from the starting point, and Christine is 27 miles ahead of Jackie. 13 minutes after the race starts, Jackie is 52 miles away from the starting point, but now Christine is only 17 miles ahead from Jackie. Assume they are going at a constant speed. (a) Present their movement on the xy-plane, where the x- and y-axis represent the time since the race starts and their distances from the starting point respectively. Label the four points clearly. (b) Find the speed of Christine and Jackie. You may use the unit “miles per minute” or, if you are comfortable with unit conversion, “miles per hour.” (c) Is anyone given a head start? If so, who is that and how far was that? (d) How far is Jackie from the starting point when he catches up with Christine?
