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

A. The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 62.00 N/m, is 0.940 J. Find by
valina [46]

a. The spring is compressed  by  0.174 m.

b.  The vertical distance the dart travels from its position when the spring is compressed to its highest position is 9.6 m.

c. The horizontal velocity of the dart at that time is  13.74 m/s.

d. The horizontal distance from the equilibrium position at which the dart hits the ground is 19.236 m.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The energy by virtue of its position is called the potential energy.

a. Given is the potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 62.00 N/m, is 0.940 J.

PE  of spring = 1/2 kx²

Put the values, we get

P.E = 0.940 = 1/2 x 62 x²

x = 0.174 m

Thus, the spring is compressed by 0.174 m.

b. Given is a 0.010 kg dart is fired straight up.

The vertical height is find out by

0.940 J = (0.010 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 9.6 m

Thus, the vertical distance the dart travels from its position is 9.6 m

c. From the conservation of energy principle, total mechanical energy is conserved.

1/2 mv² =mgh

v = √2gh

Plug the values, we get

v = √2 x 9.8x 9.6

v = 13.74 m/s

Thus, the horizontal velocity is  13.74 m/s.

d.  Time that dart spends in air, t = √2h/g

t = √(2x9.6)/9.81

t = 1.4 s

The horizontal distance from the equilibrium position at which the dart hits the ground.

Horizontal distance = (Velocity on x direction) x time

Horizontal distance = 13.74 m/s x 1.4s

Horizontal distance = 19.236 m

Thus, the horizontal distance is 19.236 m.

A bakery measured the mass of a whole cake as 0.870 kg. A customer bought one slice of the cake and measured the mass of the sli
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

0.7549kg

Explanation:

The mass of the slice + mass of the remaining cake = total mass of cake.

mass of remaining cake = total mass of cake - the mass of the slice

total mass=0.870kg

mass of slice = 0.1151kg

mass of remaining cake = 0.870 - 0.1151

mass of remaining cake=0.7549kg
