Answer:

after 38.8 years it will double

correct option is D 38.8 years

Explanation:

given data

population grows rate = 1.8%

to find out

how many years will it take to double

solution

we consider here initial population is x

so after 1 year population will be = (100% + 1.8% ) x = 1.018 x

and after n year population will be = 1.018^{n} x

so it will double

2x = 1.018^{n} x

take log both side

log 2 = n log (1.018)

n = \frac{log2}{log1.018}

n = 38.853

so after 38.8 years it will double

correct option is D 38.8 years

Uest<br>1. State Newton's law of cooling.​
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its surroundings. The law is frequently qualified to include the condition that the temperature difference is small and the nature of heat transfer mechanism remains the same. As such, it is equivalent to a statement that the heat transfer coefficient, which mediates between heat losses and temperature differences, is a constant. This condition is generally met in heat conduction (where it is guaranteed by Fourier's law) as the thermal conductivity of most materials is only weakly dependent on temperature. In convective heat transfer, Newton's Law is followed for forced air or pumped fluid cooling, where the properties of the fluid do not vary strongly with temperature, but it is only approximately true for buoyancy-driven convection, where the velocity of the flow increases with temperature difference. Finally, in the case of heat transfer by thermal radiation, Newton's law of cooling holds only for very small temperature differences.

When stated in terms of temperature differences, Newton's law (with several further simplifying assumptions, such as a low Biot number and a temperature-independent heat capacity) results in a simple differential equation expressing temperature-difference as a function of time. The solution to that equation describes an exponential decrease of temperature-difference over time. This characteristic decay of the temperature-difference is also associated with Newton's law of cooling

A pendulum oscillates 12 times in 4 seconds. what is the length of the pendulum?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

L = 2.8 cm

Explanation:

Period T = 4 / 12 = 1/3 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = (T/2π)²g

L = ((1/3)/2π)²9.8 = 0.02758... ≈ 2.8 cm
