Okay. 10^12 is 1 trillion. 1 trillion * 7 is 7 trillion. 14 trillion / 7 trillion is 2. The national debt in 2010 is two times larger than in 2003. So that basically means that the national debt doubled from 2003 to 2010.

Answer:  About 2 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In 2010, the national debt of the United States was about 14 trillion dollars.

We know that 1 trillion =1,000,000,000,000= 10^{12}

then, In 2010, the national debt of the United States was about 14\times10^{12}

dollars.

In 2003 it was about 7\times10^{12} dollars.

Now, the number of times the national debt was larger in 2010 than 2003 :-

\dfrac{ 14\times10^{12}}{7\times10^{12}}\\\\=\dfrac{14}{7}\times10^{12-12}\\\\=2\times10^0=2

Hence, national debt was about 2 times larger in 2010 than 2003 .

A particle sits on a smooth surface and is acted upon by a time dependent horizontal force, giving it an
garik1379 [7]

(a) By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

<em>v(t)</em> = <em>v(0)</em> + ∫₀ᵗ <em>a(u)</em> d<em>u</em>

The particle starts at rest, so <em>v(0)</em> = 0. Computing the integral gives

<em>v(t)</em> = [2/3 <em>u</em> ³ + 2<em>u</em> ²]₀ᵗ = 2/3 <em>t</em> ³ + 2<em>t</em> ²

(b) Use the FTC again, but this time you want the distance, which means you need to integrate the <u>speed</u> of the particle, i.e. the absolute value of <em>v(t)</em>. Fortunately, for <em>t</em> ≥ 0, we have <em>v(t)</em> ≥ 0 and |<em>v(t)</em> | = <em>v(t)</em>, so speed is governed by the same function. Taking the starting point to be the origin, after 8 seconds the particle travels a distance of

∫₀⁸ <em>v(u)</em> d<em>u</em> = ∫₀⁸ (2/3 <em>u</em> ³ + 2<em>u</em> ²) d<em>u</em> = [1/6 <em>u</em> ⁴ + 2/3 <em>u</em> ³]₀⁸ = 1024
