The air in a room with volume 180 m3 contains 0.25% carbon dioxide initially. fresher air with only 0.05% carbon dioxide flows i

nto the room at a rate of 2 m3/min and the mixed air flows out at the same rate. find the percentage p of carbon dioxide in the room as a function of time t (in minutes).

Answer:

p(t)=\frac{1}{20}(1+2e^{-t/90})

Explanation:

Let p(t) be % of CO_2 at time t(time in minutes).

Amount of CO_2 in room=Volume of room \times p

Rate of change of CO_2 in room=Volume of room x \frac{dp}{dt}

=180\times \frac{dp}{dt}

Rate of inflow of CO_2=(\% CO_2 \ in\  Fresh\  Air \times \frac{1}{100})\times(Rate \ of  Inflow\ of \ air)

=(0.05\times \frac{1}{100})\times 2=\frac{1}{100}

Rate of CO_2 outflow

(\% CO_2 \ in\  Fresh\  Air \times \frac{1}{100})\times(Rate \ of  Outflow\ of \ air)\\=(p\times\frac{1}{100})\times2=\frac{p}{50}

Therefore rate of change of CO_2 is \frac{1}{100}-\frac{p}{50}

% rate of change is100\times \ Rate of \ Change=\frac{1}{10}-2p

Therefore we have:

180\frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{1}{10}-2p\\\frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{1-20p}{1800}\\\\\frac{dp}{20p-1}=-\frac{dt}{1800}

Integrate both:

\int\limits \frac{dp}{20p-1}=\int\limits-\frac{dt}{1800}

\frac{1}{20}In|20p-1|=-\frac{t}{1800}+In \ C

In|20p-1|=-\frac{t}{90}+InK

+20In \ C=+In \ K

Raise both sides to base e,

20p-1=e^{-\frac{t}{90}+In \ K}\\\\p=\frac{1}{20}(1+Ke^{-t/90})

Initially, there's only 0.25% of CO_2,

Now substitute p=0.25 and t=0

0.25=\frac{1}{20}(1+K)\\K=4

p=\frac{1}{20}(1+2e^{-t/90})

If there is an object in top of another object, why does the upper object exert a downward normal force?​
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

This is because normal force is exerted perpendicularly to the point of contact between the upper and lower objects.  

Explanation:

This is because the upper object is still subject to gravitational pull. Therefore, the amount of force it exerts on the lower object due to gravity will be equal to the normal force that acts in the negative direction of gravitational force. Additionally, normal force is evident because the upper object will not go into the lower object.

An apple with a mass of 0.95 kilograms hangs from 3.0 meters above the ground. What is the potential energy of the apple
Vesnalui [34]

As Potential energy =mgh

m= 0.95kg

h=3 meter

g = 9.8 m/sec^2. ( acceleration due to gravity)

So P.E =(0.95)(9.8)(3)kgm^2/s^2

P.E =27.93 joules

Write a hypothesis about how the height of the cylinder affects the temperature of the water. Use the "if . . . then . . . becau
AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.
