The number of students in a cafeteria is modeled by the function p that satisfies the logistic differential equation dp/dt = 1/2

000 p(200-p), where t is the time in seconds and p(0) = 25. what is the greatest rate of change, in students per second, of the number of students in the cafeteria?

The function that we are given represents the rate of change. If p is the number of students in the cafeteria and you take the first derivative with respect to time you get the rate of change. Now we have to find the maxima of this function. This is usually done by finding the first derivate and then finding its roots. In this case, we are not explicitly given the function p(t) so we can't do that. You could solve the given differential equation and then find the second derivative. However, there is an easier way. We know that parabola has its maximum in the vertex. So all we have to do is find the vertex of the parabola we are given.
p'(t)=\frac{1}{2000}p(200-p)\\ p'(t)=\frac{1}{2000}(200p-p^2)\\ p'(t)=-\frac{p^2}{2000}+\frac{p}{10}
So we are given parabola with the following parameters:
a=-\frac{1}{2000}\\ b=\frac{1}{10}\\ c=0
The x (or in our case p coordinate) coordinate of the vertex is given with this formula:
p_v=\frac{-b}{2a}\\ p_v=100
We plug this back into the original equation to obtain the maximum rate of change:
p'_{max}=-\frac{100^2}{2000}+\frac{100}{10}=5$students/s

Answer:

Maximum rate of change will be

(\frac{dp}{dt})_{max} = 5 at p = 100

Explanation:

As we know that rate of change in students per second is given by

r = \frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{1}{2000} p(200 - p)

here we need to find the greatest rate of change in the number of students

So in order to find the greatest value of the rate of students we have to put the differentiation of of the above function to be zero

so we have

\frac{dr}{dp} = 0

0 = \frac{1}{2000} (200 - 2p)

by solving above equation we have

p = 100

so maximum rate of students will be at the condition when p = 100

so the value of maximum rate will be

\frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{1}{2000}(100)(200 - 100)

\frac{dp}{dt} = 5

4. Using the bone density of 2.0 kg/m3, calculate the mass of an adult femur bone that has a volume of 0.00027 m3.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Mass \ of \ an \ adult \ femur \ bone = 0.00054 \ kg}

Given:

Bone density = 2.0 kg/m³

Volume of bone (V) = 0.00027 m³

To Find:

Mass of an adult femur bone (m).

Explanation:

\sf \implies Density = \frac{Mass (m)}{Volume (V)} \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{Mass}{Volume} = Density \\ \\ \sf \implies Mass = Density \times Volume \\ \\ \sf \implies Mass = 2.0 \ kg/ \cancel{m^{3}} \times 0.00027 \ \cancel{m^{3}} \\ \\ \sf \implies Mass = 0.00054 \ kg

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example
MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the (velocity)^2 and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}

\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.

What is the difference between a graph of linear motion and a graph of harmonic motion?
fredd [130]
Hope this helps :)

When describing linear motion, you need only one graph representing each of the three terms, while projectile motion requires a graph of the x and y axes. Graphs of simple harmonic motion are sine curves. Circular motion is different from other forms of motion because the speed of the object is constant.

Factors that influence fluid pressure are depth and “ “<br> of the fluid.
Ivenika [448]

Explanation:

Two factors influence the pressure of fluids. They are the depth of the fluid and its density. A fluid exerts more pressure at greater depths. Deeper in a fluid, all of the fluid above it results in more weight pressing down.
