Get started for freeEscape Velocity.According to Newton’s law of gravitation, the attractive force between two objects varies inversely as the square of the distances between them. That is,whereare the masses of the objects, ris the distance between them (center to center), Fgis the attractive force, and Gis the constant of proportionality. Consider a projectile of
constant mass mbeing fired vertically from Earth (see Figure 3.12). Let trepresent time and v the velocity of the projectile.
A solar hot-water-heating system consists of a hot-water tank and a solar panel. The tank is well insulated and has a time constant of 64 hr. The solar panel generates 2000 Btu/hr during the day, and the tank has a heat capacity of per thousand Btu. If the water in the tank is initiallyand the room temperature outside the tank is, what will be the temperature in the tank after 12 hr of sunlight?
In 1990 the Department of Natural Resources released 1000 splake (a crossbreed of fish) into a lake. In 1997 the population of splake in the lake was estimated to be 3000. Using the Malthusian law for population growth, estimate the population of splake in the lake in the year 2020.
Use the improved Euler’s method subroutine with step size h= 0.1 to approximate the solution to the initial value problem, at the points x= 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5. (Thus, input N= 5.) Compare these approximations with those obtained using Euler’s method (see Exercises 1.4,Problem 5, page 28).
Suppose the snowball in Problem 21 melts so that the rate of change in its diameter is proportional to its surface area. Using the same given data, determine when its diameter will be 2 in. Mathematically speaking, when will the snowball disappear?
