Electrostatic force The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges \(Q\) and \(q\) of the same sign is given by \(F(x)=\frac{k Q q}{x^{2}},\) where \(x\) is the distance (measured in meters) between the charges and \(k=9 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\) is a physical constant (C stands for coulomb, the unit of charge; N stands for newton, the unit of force). a. Find the instantaneous rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the charges. b. For two identical charges with \(Q=q=1 \mathrm{C},\) what is the instantaneous rate of change of the force at a separation of \(x=0.001 \mathrm{m} ?\) c. Does the magnitude of the instantaneous rate of change of the force increase or decrease with the separation? Explain.
Graphing with inverse trigonometric functions a. Graph the function \(f(x)=\frac{\tan ^{-1} x}{x^{2}+1}\) b. Compute and graph \(f^{\prime}\) and determine (perhaps approximately) the points at which \(f^{\prime}(x)=0\) c. Verify that the zeros of \(f^{\prime}\) correspond to points at which \(f\) has a horizontal tangent line.
Prove the following identities and give the values of \(x\) for which they are true. $$\tan \left(2 \tan ^{-1} x\right)=\frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}$$
Visualizing tangent and normal lines a. Determine an equation of the tangent line and normal line at the given point \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\) on the following curves. (See instructions for Exercises \(63-68 .)\) b. Graph the tangent and normal lines on the given graph. \(\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{25}{3}\left(x^{2}-y^{2}\right);\) \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)=(2,-1)\) (lemniscate of Bernoulli)
An angler hooks a trout and begins turning her circular reel at \(1.5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s}\). If the radius of the reel (and the fishing line on it) is 2 in. then how fast is she reeling in her fishing line?
