Zipf's Law, developed by George Zipf in 1949, states that in a given country, the population of a city is inversely proportional to the city's rank by size in the country.116 Assuming Zipf's Law:(a)Write a formula for the population, P, of a city as a function of its rank, R.(b)If the constant of proportionality k is 300,000, what is the approximate population of the largest city (rank 1)? The second largest city (rank 2)? The third largest city?(c)Answer the questions of part (b) if k = 6 million.(d)Interpret the meaning of the constant of proportionality k in this context.
According to Zipf's Law, the number of cities N with a population greater than S is inversely
proportional to S. In 2008, there were 52 U.S. cities with a population greater than 350,000. Estimate (a) the number of U.S. oties with a population between 350,000
and 450,000; (b) between 300,000 and 600,000.
a. According to Zipfs Law, the number of U.S. cities with a population between 350,000 and 450,000 is approximately (Round to the nearest whole number as
needed.)
The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of other factors, the population doubles each week. There are 400,000 mosquitoes in the area initially, and predators (birds, bats, and so forth) eat 50,000 mosquitoes/day. Determine the population of mosquitoes in the area at any time. (Note that the variable t represents days.)

C(W) = (b) If a human weighing 150 pounds needs to consume 1800 calories a day, estimate the daily calorie requirement of a horse weighing 740 lbs and of a rabbit weighing 11 lbs. NOTE: Round your answers to the nearest calorie. Daily calorie requirement of a horse = Daily calorie requirement of a rabbit = calories Choose one calories (c) On a per-pound basis, which animal requires more calories: a mouse or an elephant? ¹S.

The square of the terminal velocity of a skydiver (v) is directly proportional to the skydiver's weight (w) and inversely proportional to the skydiver's ground-facing surface area (A). Write an equation that models this situation. Use k for the constant of proportionality. Suppose Christy weighs 60 kilograms and has an approximate downward-facing area of 0.18 square meters. Last week, Christy went skydiving and the terminal velocity was measured as 241 kilometers per hour. If another person goes skydiving under similar conditons and they weigh 82 kilograms with a ground-facing surface area of 0.33 square meters, what would be their terminal velocity? kilometers per hour {Give at least 3 decimal place accuracy}arrow_forward

The relation is given by the formula below where M is solar masses and E is solar lifetimes. E = M2.5 The sun is thought to be at the middle of its life, with a total life expectancy of about 10 billion years. Thus, the value E = 1 corresponds to a life expectancy of 10 billion years.
