Get started for freeStefan’s law of radiation states that the rate of change of temperature of a body at Tdegrees Kelvin in a medium at M degrees Kelvin is proportional to . That is where kis a positive constant. Solve this equation using separation of variables. Explain why Newton’s law and Stefan’s law are nearly the same when Tis close to Mand Mis constant. [Hint: Factor ]
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?
An object of mass 5 kg is given an initial downward velocity of 50 m/sec and then allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is -10v, where v is the velocity of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 500 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground.
Two friends sit down to talk and enjoy a cup of coffee. When the coffee is served, the impatient friend immediately adds a teaspoon of cream to his coffee. The relaxed friend waits 5 min before adding a teaspoon of cream (which has been kept at a constant temperature). The two now begin to drink their coffee. Who has the hotter coffee? Assume that the cream is cooler than the air and has the same heat capacity per unit volume as the coffee, and that Newton’s law of cooling governs the heat transfer.
The solution to the initial value problemhas a vertical asymptote (“blows up”) at some point in the interval [1,2]By experimenting with the improved Euler’s method subroutine, determine this point to two decimal places.
