Answer:

T ambient = 10 degrees

Explanation:

Using Newton's Law of Cooling:

T(t) = Tamb + (Ti - Tamb)*e^(-kt)  ..... Eq 1

Ti = 100

We have two points to evaluate the above equation as follows:

T = 70 @ t = 10 using Eq 1  

70 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-10k)   ... Eq 2

T = 50 @ t = 20 using Eq 1

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-20k)   ... Eq 3

Solving the above Eq 2 and Eq 3 simultaneously:

Using Eq 2:

(70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb) = e^(-10k)  

Squaring both sides we get:

((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2 = e^(-20k)   .... Eq 4

Substitute Eq 4 into Eq 3

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2

After simplification:

50 = (Tamb (100-Tamb) + (70-Tamb)^2) / (100 - Tamb)

5000 - 50*Tamb = 4900 - 40*Tamb

Tamb = 100 / 10 = 10 degrees

Consider f(x) = -4x2 + 24x + 3. Determine whether the function has a maximum or minimum value. Then find the
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The function has a maximum in x=3

The maximum is:

f(3) = 39

Explanation:

Find the first derivative of the function for the inflection point, then equal to zero and solve for x

f(x)' = -4*2x + 24=0

-4*2x + 24=0

8x=24

x=3

Now find the second derivative of the function and evaluate at x = 3.

If f (3) ''< 0 the function has a maximum

If f (3) '' >0 the function has a minimum

f(x)''= 8

Note that:

f(3)''= -8

the function has a maximum in x=3

The maximum is:

f(3)=-4(3)^2+24(3) + 3\\\\f(3) = 39

The 0.15kg baseball has a speed of v=30 m/s just before it is struck by the bat. It then travels along the trajectory shown befo
notka56 [123]

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

The mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

The speed at which it moves, v = 30 m/s

Time at which the baseball was in contact with the bat, t = 0.75 ms

t = 0.75/1000 s

t  = 0.00075 s

The impulsive force is given by the formula:

F=\frac{mv}{t}

Substitute m = 0.15 kg, v = 30, and t = 0.00075s into the formula above:

F=\frac{0.15 \times 30}{0.00075} \\\\F=6000N

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N
