Use Exercise 69 to prove that if two trails start at the same place and finish at the same place, then regardless of the ups and downs of the trails, they have the same net change in elevation.
a. Confirm that the linear approximation to \(f(x)=\tanh x\) at \(a=0\) is \(L(x)=x.\) b. Recall that the velocity of a surface wave on the ocean is \(v=\sqrt{\frac{g \lambda}{2 \pi} \tanh \frac{2 \pi d}{\lambda}} .\) In fluid dynamics, shallow water refers to water where the depth-to-wavelength ratio \(d / \lambda<0.05 .\) Use your answer to part (a) to explain why the shallow water velocity equation is \(v=\sqrt{g d}.\) c. Use the shallow-water velocity equation to explain why waves tend to slow down as they approach the shore.
Power and energy Power and energy are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different. Energy is what makes matter move or heat up and is measured in units of joules (J) or Calories (Cal), where 1 Cal = 4184 J. One hour of walking consumes roughly \(10^{6} \mathrm{J},\) or \(250 \mathrm{Cal} .\) On the other hand, power is the rate at which energy is used and is measured in watts \((\mathrm{W} ; 1 \mathrm{W}=1 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{s})\) Other useful units of power are kilowatts ( \(1 \mathrm{kW}=10^{3} \mathrm{W}\) ) and megawatts ( \(1 \mathrm{MW}=10^{6} \mathrm{W}\) ). If energy is used at a rate of \(1 \mathrm{kW}\) for 1 hr, the total amount of energy used is 1 kilowatt-hour \((\mathrm{kWh})=\) which is \(3.6 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{J}\) Suppose the power function of a large city over a \(24-\mathrm{hr}\) period is given by $$P(t)=E^{\prime}(t)=300-200 \sin \frac{\pi t}{12}$$ where \(P\) is measured in megawatts and \(t=0\) corresponds to 6:00 P.M. (see figure). a. How much energy is consumed by this city in a typical \(24-\mathrm{hr}\) period? Express the answer in megawatt-hours and in joules. b. Burning 1 kg of coal produces about 450 kWh of energy. How many kg of coal are required to meet the energy needs of the city for 1 day? For 1 year? c. Fission of 1 g of uranium- 235 (U-235) produces about \(16,000 \mathrm{kWh}\) of energy. How many grams of uranium are needed to meet the energy needs of the city for 1 day? For 1 year? d. A typical wind turbine can generate electrical power at a rate of about \(200 \mathrm{kW}\). Approximately how many wind turbines are needed to meet the average energy needs of the city?
In Chapter \(8,\) we will encounter the harmonic \(\operatorname{sum} 1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n} .\) Use a left Riemann sum to approximate \(\int_{1}^{n+1} \frac{d x}{x}(\) with unit spacing between the grid points) to show that \(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n}>\ln (n+1) .\) Use this fact to conclude that \(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n}\right)\) does not exist.
City A has a current population of 500,000 people and grows at a rate of \(3 \% /\) yr. City \(\mathrm{B}\) has a current population of 300,000 and grows at a rate of \(5 \% / \mathrm{yr}\). a. When will the cities have the same population? b. Suppose City C has a current population of \(y_{0} < 500,000\) and a growth rate of \(p>3 \% /\) yr. What is the relationship between \(y_{0}\) and \(p\) such that the Cities \(A\) and \(C\) have the same population in 10 years?
