The amount A (t ) of atmospheric pollutants in a certain mountain valley grows naturally and is tripling every 7.5 years.
(a) If the initial amount is 10 pu (pollutant units), write a formula for A (t ) giving the amount (in pu) present after t years.
(b) What will be the amount (in pu) of pollutants present in the valley atmosphere after 5 years?
(c) If it will be dangerous to stay in the valley when the amount of pollutants reaches 100 pu, how long will this take?

Again decelerating at 16 feet per second squared it will take you (..............) seconds to stop. During that time you will travel(............) feet. Assuming that it takes you 1 second to react to an emergency before you start braking, at the same initial speed, and the same constant deceleration, you will travel a total of (................) feet, before coming to a stop.arrow_forward
- Suppose that a parachutist with linear drag (m=50 kg, c=12.5kg/s) jumps from an airplane flying at an altitude of a kilometer with a horizontal velocity of 220 m/s relative to the ground. a) Write a system of four differential equations for x,y,vx=dx/dt and vy=dy/dt. b) If theinitial horizontal position is defined as x=0, use Euler’s methods with t=0.4 s to compute the jumper’s position over the first 40 s. c) Develop plots of y versus t and y versus x. Use the plot to graphically estimate when and where the jumper would hit the ground if the chute failed to open.arrow_forwardAn aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 4.60 x 10-6 m? carries a current of 7.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm³. Assume each aluminum atom supplies one conduction electron per atom. Find the drift speed of the electrons in the wire. 1.95E-4 The equation for the drift velocity includes the number of charge carriers per volume, which in this case is equal to the number of atoms per volume. How do you calculate that if you know the density and the atomic weight of aluminum? mm/sarrow_forwardI A bob attached to a cord is moved to the right where its vertical position is 1.05 cm above the equilibrium position and is then given an initial speed of 0.6 m/s.

If the original acceleration of the wooden block is being countered by an unknown force that causes its downward acceleration to decrease to 4.9 m/s², what's the magnitude of the unknown force?arrow_forward2. Heat conduction in a square plate Three sides of a rectangular plate (@ = 5 m, b = 4 m) are kept at a temperature of 0 C and one side is kept at a temperature C, as shown in the figure. Determine and plot the ; temperature distribution T(x, y) in the plate. The temperature distribution, T(x, y) in the plate can be determined by solving the two-dimensional heat equation. For the given boundary conditions T(x, y) can be expressed analytically by a Fourier series (Erwin Kreyszig, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, John Wiley and Sons, 1993):arrow_forwardA rope of negligible mass is wrapped around a 225-kg solid cylinder of radius 0.400 m.

- I need answer within 20 minutes please please with my best wishesarrow_forwardA 200 gallon tank initially contains 100 gallons of water with 20 pounds of salt. A salt solution with 1/5 pound of salt per gallon is added to the tank at 10 gal/min, and the resulting mixture is drained out at 5 gal/min. Let Q(t) denote the quantity (lbs) of salt at time t (min). (a) Write a differential equation for Q(t) which is valid up until the point at which the tank overflows. Q' (t) = = (b) Find the quantity of salt in the tank as it's about to overflow. esc C ✓ % 1 1 a 2 W S # 3 e d $ 4 f 5 rt 99 6 y & 7 h O u * 00 8 O 1 9 1 Oarrow_forward5arrow_forward
