A tank initially holds 100 gallons of salt solution in which 50 lbs of salt has been dissolved. A pipe fills the tank with brine

at the rate of 3 gpm, containing 2 lbs of dissolved salt per gallon. Assuming that the mixture is kept uniform by stirring, a drain pipe draws out of the tank the mixture at 2 gpm. Find the amount of salt in the tank at the end of 30 minutes.
A. 171.24 lbs
B. 124.11 lbs
C. 143.25 lbs
D. 105.12 lbs

Answer:

A. 171.24 Ibs

Explanation:

To find the amount of salt in the tank,

Let Q = Amount of salt in the mixture

And let 100 + (3-2)t = 100 + t be the volume of mixture at anytime t.

Rate of gain - Rate of loss = dQ / dt

Concentration of salt = Q / (100+t)

For the linear differential equation,

dQ / dt = 3(2) - 2 [Q/ (100 + t)]

dQ /dt + Q [2 / (100 + t)] = 6

The general solution of the linear differential equation is:

Q (i.f) = ∫ A(t) (i.f) dt + C

Therefore,

i.f = e ^ ∫ P(t) dt

And P(t) = 2 / (100 + t)

i.f = e ^ ∫ 2 / (100 + t)

  = e ^ 2㏑ (100 + t)

     = e ^ ㏑ (100 + t) ^2 = (100 + t) ^2

Q(100 + t) ^ 2 = ∫6 (100 + t) ^2 dt + C

 Q(100 + t) ^2 = 2(100 + t) ^ 3 + C

  When t = 0, Q = 50

Therefore,

50( 100) ^2 = 2(100) ^3 + C

 C = -1.5 * 10 ^6

therefore, when t = 30,

Q (100 + 30) ^2 = 2(100 + 30) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6

 Q (400) ^2 = 2(130) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6

    Q = 171.24 Ibs

Which statement correctly explains scientific theories?
Elan Coil [88]
<span>Scientific theories are tested and proven over time; they are then considered scientific laws.

Sometimes however, they are proven wrong, and so they do not become laws

hope this helps</span>

For an atom to be neutral the amount of ? and? must be equal
maks197457 [2]

Answer: Well first of all, for an Atom to be neutral, it shall have an equal number of the protons and the neutrons. So given that, the protons are able to be positively charged and since the electrons are negatively charged (Protons and Electrons are completely different from each other) then that means the Algebric are aggregated of charges because it equal to zero. So overall, the 'neutral atom' has to be neutral, and how? Protons must equal the number of electrons or else it wouldn't be considered neutral.

Hopefully this helps you very much!! :-) Have a great daayy!

A 0.80 kg object tied to the end of a 2.0 m string swings as a pendulum. At the lowest point of its swing, the object has a kine
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.32 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, the sum of mechanical and kinetic energy should be equal to the 10 J given. Potential energy is given by mgh where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. For this case, h= l(1-cos\theta) and l is string length, given as 2 m, \theta is given as 50 degrees. Kinetic energy is given by 0.5mv^{2} and it is this velocity that is unknown.

10J=0.5\times 0.8kg\times v^{2}+ 0.8kg\times 9.81\times 2m(1-cos 50^{\circ})\\v\approx 3.32 m/s
