Newton’s law of cooling states that dx dt = −k(x−A) where x is the temperature,t is time, A is the ambient temperature, and k &g

t; 0 is a constant. Suppose that A = A0 cos(ωt) for some constants A0 and ω. That is, the ambient temperature oscillates (for example night and day temperatures). a) Find the general solution. b) In the long term, will the initial conditions make much of a difference? Why or why not?

Answer:

a)X= kA_o\dfrac{1}{k^2+\omega^2}\left ( kcos\omega t+\omega sin\omega t \right )+Ce^{-kt}

b)Does not affect the long term.

Explanation:

Given that

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-k(x-A)

A = A0 cos(ωt)

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-k(x-A_o cos(\omega t))

\dfrac{dx}{dt}+kx=kA_o cos(\omega t)

This is linear equation so integration factor ,I

I=e^{\int kdt}

I=e^{kt}

Now by using linear equation property

e^{kt} X=\int e^{kt} kA_o cos(\omega t) dt +C

e^{kt} X= kA_o \dfrac{e^{kt}}{k^2+\omega^2}\left ( kcos\omega t+\omega sin\omega t \right )+C

X= kA_o\dfrac{1}{k^2+\omega^2}\left ( kcos\omega t+\omega sin\omega t \right )+Ce^{-kt}

b)

at t= 0

X(0)=\dfrac{k^2A_o}{\omega^2+k^2}+C

X= kA_o\dfrac{1}{k^2+\omega^2}\left ( kcos\omega t+\omega sin\omega t \right )+e^{-kt}\times \left ( X(0)-\dfrac{k^2A_o}{\omega^2+k^2} \right )

So the initial condition does not affect the long term.

What happens to the electric potential energy of a negatively charged ion as it moves through the water from the negative probe
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is the potential energy which is associated with the configuration of points charge in a system and it is the result of conservative coulomb force.

When the negatively charge ion is at the position of the negative probe than its potential energy is positive when it is move towards the positive probe it's potential energy becomes negative due to the negative ion.

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.

The record for the highest speed achieved in alaboratory for a
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.000234 seconds

Explanation:

Since the row is 0.15m, its radius of rotation must be 0.15 / 2 = 0.075 m

We can start by calculating the angular speed of the rod:

\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{2010}{0.075} = 26800 rad/s

Since one revolution equals to 2π rad. The speed in revolution per second must be

26800 / 2π = 4265 revolution/s

The number of seconds per revolution, or period, is the inverse:

1/4265 = 0.000234 seconds
