- Define Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forwardFrictional Force The frictional force F between the tires and the road required to keep a car on a curved section of a highway is directly proportional to the square of the speed s of the car. If the speed of the car is doubled, the force will change by what factor?arrow_forwardMaria, a biologist is observing the growth pattern of a virus. She starts with 100 of the virus that grows at a rate of 10% per hour. She will check on the virus in 24 hours. How many viruses will she find?arrow_forward
- A Leaky BalloonA balloon leaks air changes volume at a rate of one-third the volume per minute. Write an equation of change that describes the volume V of air in the balloon at time t in minutes.arrow_forwardCan the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forward
