Answer:

t=7.85 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write this rate as an ordinary differential equation.

\frac{dP}{dt}=aP

Where a is proportional constant, P the population variable, and t the time.

\frac{dP}{P}=adt

Integrating each side of the equation.

\int \frac{dP}{P}=\int adt

ln(P)=at+c

P=e^{at+c}

P=e^{c}e^{at}=Ce^{at}

To find C we need to use the initial condiction, it means evaluae P at t=0.

P_{0}=Ce^{0}=C

P=P_{0}e^{at}

Now, we use the sentence  the population has doubled in 5 years.

2P_{0}=P_{0}e^{a5}

We can find "a" in this condition.

2=e^{a5}

ln(2)=a5

a=\frac{ln(2)}{5}

a=0.14

Finally, let's find how long will it take to triple.

3P_{0}=P_{0}e^{0.14t}

3=e^{0.14t}

t=\frac{ln(3)}{0.14}

t=7.85 years

I hope it helps you!

It is C because 4 pi r^2 is the surface area equation. 4 times 6 squared= 144. 144pi = surface area.

Answer:

The total mechanical energy is 0.712 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

A blue 573 g mobile is moving on a metal rail. If on the mobile, the spring exerts a force to the right of modulus 0.85 N and in the indicated position the kinetic energy of the mobile-spring system is 0.47 J and its elastic potential energy is 0.242 J. Determine the mechanical energy of the system mobile-spring in the position shown as indicated in the figure.

The total mechanical energy is given by the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy.

Kinetic energy = 0.47 J

Potential energy = 0.242 J

The total mechanical energy is

T = 0.47 + 0.242 = 0.712 J
