Answer:

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

Explanation:

given

v = 1000cm³, p = 80kPa, Δp/t= 40kPa/min

PV=C

vΔp + pΔv = 0

differentiate with respect to time

v(Δp/t) + p(Δv/t) = 0

(1000cm³)(40kPa/min) + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

40000 + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

Δv/t = -40000/80

= -500cm³/min

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate
sveta [45]

Answer:

It would take approximately 289 hours for the population to double

Explanation:

Recall the expression for the continuous exponential growth of a population:

N(t)=N_0\,e^{kt}

where N(t) measures the number of individuals, No is the original population, "k" is the percent rate of growth, and "t" is the time elapsed.

In our case, we don't know No (original population, but know that we want it to double in a certain elapsed "t". We also have in mind that the percent rate "k" would be expressed in mathematical form as: 0.0024 (mathematical form of the given percent growth rate).

So we need to solve for "t" in the following equation:

2\,N_0=N_0\,e^{0.0024\,t}\\\frac{2\,N_0}{N_0} =e^{0.0024\,t}\\2=e^{0.0024\,t}\\ln(2)=0.0024\,t\\t=\frac{ln(2)}{0.0024} \\t=288.811\,\, hours

Which can be rounded to about 289 hours

Suppose the price of electricity is 12.75 cents per kWºh. What
adell [148]

Answer:

The difference between the cost of operating LED and incandescent bulb is $5.1

Explanation:

We are given the cost of electricity that is 12.75 cents per kWh. We want to find out the difference in the operating cost of an incandescent and LED bulb for a time period of 2,000 hours.

Since we are not given the rating of the incandescent bulb and LED bulb, we will assume their ratings.

For a light intensity of 250 Lumens;

The average rating of an LED bulb is approximately 5 Watts.

The average rating of an incandescent bulb is approximately 25 Watts.

Now lets find out the kWh of each bulb.

Energy = Power×Time

For LED bulb:

E = 5×2,000 = 10,000 Wh

Divide by 1000 to convert into kWh

E = 10,000/1000 = 10 kWh

Cost = 12.75×10 = 127.5 cents

Cost = $1.27

For Incandescent bulb:

E = 25×2,000 = 50,000 Wh

Divide by 1000 to convert into kWh

E = 50,000/1000 = 50 kWh

Cost = 12.75×50 = 637.5 cents

Cost = $6.37

Difference in Cost:

Difference = $6.37 - $1.27 = $5.1

Therefore, the difference between the cost of operating LED and incandescent bulb is $5.1.

A high-performance sports car can go from 0 to 100 mph in 5.8 s. (Assume the car travels in the positive direction. Indicate the
sasho [114]

Answer: a) 7.71 m/s², b) - 6.67 m/s²

Explanation: first thing to note is that

1 mile = 1609.34

1 hour = 3600s

Hence, 100mph to m/s = (100 × 1609.34)/3600 = 44.71 m/s

Initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity (v) = 44.71 m/s, t = 5.8s, a = acceleration =?

By using newton's laws of motion

v = u + at

44.71 = 0 + a(5.8)

44.71 = 5.8a

a = 44.71/5.8

a = 7.71 m/s²

Question b)

The car is completing a stop which implies that the car is coming to rest, and when a car is coming to rest, the final velocity (v) is zero.

Hence u = 34 m/s, v = 0, a =?, t = 5.1 s

v = u + at

0 = 34 + a(5.1)

a(5.1) = - 34

a = - 34/5.1

a = - 6.67 m/s².

The negative sign beside the acceleration shows that the body is decelerating
