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.

Explain the statement: “Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.”
babymother [125]

All living things are made up of cells.  Each cell's individual function helps the organism collectively function.  They are the most basic as they can be self-contained.  And there is no other particle smaller that can function on it's own.

Index fossils are used to determine the relative ages of rock and fossils and are also used to
kolbaska11 [484]

Index fossils are used to determine the relative ages of rock and fossils and are also used to define the boundaries between geologic periods.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fossils which are recognized as fossils guides or indicator fossils are used to classify and recognize geological or faunal periods, termed as index fossils. It must be of short vertical reach, wide geographic distribution and swift patterns in evolution. It helps to assess the rock layers ' age and helps to date other fossils found close and around them. For an instance, Ammonites were abundant in the Mesozoic period between 245 to 65 mya, they have not been found after the Cretaceous era, as they became endangered during the K-T extinction (65 mya).

A constant force of 45 N directed at angle θ to the horizontal pulls a crate of weight 100 N from one end of a room to another a
Rasek [7]

Answer:

W=173.48J

Explanation:

information we know:

Total force: F=45N

Weight: w=100N

distance: 4m

vertical component of the force: F_{y}=12N

-------------

In this case we need the formulas to calculate the components of the force (because to calculate the work we need the horizontal component of the force).

horizontal component: F_{x}=Fcos\theta

vertical component: F_{y}=Fsen\theta

but from the given information we know that F_{y}=12N

so, equation these two F_{y}=Fsen\theta and F_{y}=12N

Fsen\theta =12N

and we know the force F=45N, thus:

45sen\theta=12

now we clear for \theta

sen\theta =12/45\\\theta=sin^{-1}(12/45)\\\theta =15.466

the angle to the horizontal is 15.466°, with this information we can calculate the horizontal component of the force:

F_{x}=Fcos\theta

F_{x}=45cos(15.466)\\F_{x}=43.37N

whith this horizontal component we calculate the work to move the crate a distance of 4 m:

W=F_{x}*D\\W=(43.37N)(4m)\\W=173.48J

the work done is W=173.48J
