gravitational force is the attraction force of earth on an object which is near the surface of earth

It will not depend on the velocity or acceleration of earth

So it will not change while an object is stationary or it is moving with some acceleration

So here we will say that force will remain the same

$F = mg$

A tank initially holds 100 gallons of salt solution in which 50 lbs of salt has been dissolved. A pipe fills the tank with brine

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

A. 171.24 Ibs

Explanation:

To find the amount of salt in the tank,

Let Q = Amount of salt in the mixture

And let 100 + (3-2)t = 100 + t be the volume of mixture at anytime t.

Rate of gain - Rate of loss = dQ / dt

Concentration of salt = Q / (100+t)

For the linear differential equation,

dQ / dt = 3(2) - 2 [Q/ (100 + t)]

dQ /dt + Q [2 / (100 + t)] = 6

The general solution of the linear differential equation is:

Q (i.f) = ∫ A(t) (i.f) dt + C

Therefore,

i.f = e ^ ∫ P(t) dt

And P(t) = 2 / (100 + t)

i.f = e ^ ∫ 2 / (100 + t)

= e ^ 2㏑ (100 + t)

= e ^ ㏑ (100 + t) ^2 = (100 + t) ^2

Q(100 + t) ^ 2 = ∫6 (100 + t) ^2 dt + C

Q(100 + t) ^2 = 2(100 + t) ^ 3 + C

When t = 0, Q = 50

Therefore,

50( 100) ^2 = 2(100) ^3 + C

C = -1.5 * 10 ^6

therefore, when t = 30,

Q (100 + 30) ^2 = 2(100 + 30) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6

Q (400) ^2 = 2(130) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6

Q = 171.24 Ibs

What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of disturbance in the water?

guapka [62]

A wave is a result of the disturbance in the equilibrium state. There are two types of wave, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse wave affects amplitude while longitudinal wave affects the frequency of the wave. As for the transverse wave, the magnitude of the perpendicular disturbance of the wave is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The higher the transverse disturbance the higher the amplitude.
