In 1990 the Department of Natural 91Ó°ÊÓ 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.
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. Carbon dating is often used to determine the age of a fossil. For example, a humanoid skull was found in a cave in South Africa along with the remains of a campfire. Archaeologists believe the age of the skull to be the same age as the campfire. It is determined that only 2% of the original amount of carbon-14 remains in the burnt wood of the campfire. Estimate the age of the skull if the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5600 years.
A white wine at room temperature 70°F is chilled in ice (32°F). If it takes 15 min for the wine to chill to 60°F, how long will it take for the wine to reach 56°F?
On a hot Saturday morning while people are working inside, the air conditioner keeps the temperature inside the building at . At noon the air conditioner is turned off, and the people go home. The temperature outside is a constantfor the rest of the afternoon. If the time constant for the building is 4 hr, what will be the temperature inside the building at 2:00 p.m.? At 6:00 p.m.? When will the temperature inside the building reach?
A sailboat has been running (on a straight course) under a light wind at 1 m/sec. Suddenly the wind picks up, blowing hard enough to apply a constant force of 600 N to the sailboat. The only other force acting on the boat is water resistance that is proportional to the velocity of the boat. If the proportionality constant for water resistance is b= 100 N-sec/m and the mass of the sailboat is 50 kg, find the equation of motion of the sailboat. What is the limiting velocity of the sailboat under this wind?
