A 10-8-Fcapacitor (10 nano-farads) is charged to 50Vand then disconnected. One can model the charge leakage of the capacitor with a RC circuit with no voltage source and the resistance of the air between the capacitor plates. On a cold dry day, the resistance of the air gap is; on a humid day, the resistance is. How long will it take the capacitor voltage to dissipate to half its original value on each day?
By experimenting with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta subroutine, find the maximum value over the interval \(\left[ {{\bf{1,2}}} \right]\)of the solution to the initial value problem\({\bf{y' = }}\frac{{{\bf{1}}{\bf{.8}}}}{{{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{4}}}}}{\bf{ - }}{{\bf{y}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{,y(1) = - 1}}\) . Where does this maximum occur? Give your answers to two decimal places.
If the object in Problem 2 is released from rest 30ftabove the ground instead of 500ft, when will it strike the ground? [ Hint:Use Newton’s method to solve for t ]
In Problems 23–27, assume that the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is proportional to the amount of the substance present. The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for one-half of the substance to disintegrate. If initially there are 50 g of a radioactive substance and after 3 days there are only 10 g remaining, what percentage of the original amount remains after 4 days?
An object of mass 8 kg is given an upward initial velocity of 20 m/sec and then allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is -16v , where v is the velocity of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 100 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground.
