1 answer:
Answer:
The relationship between flying time in seconds in the number of times the insect beats its wings:
- y = 120x
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of the line equation
where
- m is the rate of change or slope
- b is the y-intercept
In our case,
Let 'x' be the flying time in seconds
Ley 'y' be the number of times the insect beats its wings
Given that a certain insect can beat its wings 120 times per second.
It indicates that the rate of change or slope = m = 120
In our case the y-intercept b = 0, as there is no initial condition mentioned here.
Now, substituting m = 120 and b = 0 in the slope-intercept form
y = mx+b
y = 120x+0
y = 120x
Therefore, the relationship between flying time in seconds in the number of times the insect beats its wings:
- y = 120x

(i) Given that
when R = 0.30 cm and v = (0.30 - 3.33r²) cm/s (which additionally tells us to take K = 1), then
and this is a volume so it must be reported with units of cm³.
In Mathematica, you can first define the velocity function with
v[r_] := 0.30 - 3.33r^2
and additionally define the volume function with
V[R_] := Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}]
Then get the desired volume by running V[0.30].
(ii) In full, the volume function is
Compute the integral:
In M, redefine the velocity function as
v[r_] := k*(R^2 - r^2)
(you can't use capital K because it's reserved for a built-in function)
Then run
Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}]
This may take a little longer to compute than expected because M tries to generate a result to cover all cases (it doesn't automatically know that R is a real number, for instance). You can make it run faster by including the Assumptions option, as with
Integrate[2 Pi v[r] r, {r, 0, R}, Assumptions -> R > 0]
which ensures that R is positive, and moreover a real number.
