- Radius of a Shock Wave An explosion produces a spherical shock wave whose radius R expands rapidly. The rate of expansion depends on the energy E of the explosion and the elapsed time t since the explosion. For many explosions, the relation is approximated closely by R=4.16E0.2t0.4. Here R is the radius in centimeters, E is the energy in ergs, and t is the elapsed time in seconds. The relation is valid only for very brief periods of time, perhaps a second or so in duration. a. An explosion of 50 pounds of TNT produces an energy of about 1015 ergs. See Figure 2.71. How long is required for the shock wave to reach a point 40 meters 4000 centimeters away? b. A nuclear explosion releases much more energy than conventional explosions. A small nuclear device of yield 1 kiloton releases approximately 91020 ergs. How long would it take for the shock wave from such an explosion to reach a point 40 meters away? c. The shock wave from a certain explosion reaches a point 50 meters away in 1.2 seconds. How much energy was released by the explosion? The values of E in parts a and b may help you set an appropriate window. Note: In 1947, the government released film of the first nuclear explosion in 1945, but the yield of the explosion remained classified. Sir Geoffrey Taylor used the film to determine the rate of expansion of the shock wave and so was able to publish a scientific paper concluding correctly that the yield was in the 20-kiloton range.arrow_forwardAdding Functions A certain function f is the sum of two temperatures, one given by t2+3, and the other given by tt2+1. Find a formula for f in terms of t.arrow_forwardMagazine Circulation: The circulation C of a certain magazine as a function of time t is given by the formula C=5.20.1+0.3t Here C is measured in thousands, and t is measured in years since the beginning of 2006, when the magazine was started. a. Make a graph of C versus t covering the first 6 years of the magazines existence. b. Express using functional notation the circulation of the magazine 18 months after it was started, and then find that value. c. Over what time interval is the graph of C concave up? Explain your answer in practical terms. d. At what time was the circulation increasing the fastest?. e. Determine the limiting value for C. Explain your answer in practical terms.arrow_forward
- Water Flea F. E Smith has reported on population growth of the water flea. In one experiment, he found that the time t, in days, required to reach a population of N is given by the relation e0.44t=NN0(228N0228N)4.46. Here N0 is the initial population size. If the initial population size is 50, how long is required for the population to grow to 125?arrow_forward5. United States Population Growth In 1960 the population of the United States was about 180 million. Since that time, the population has increased by approximately 1.2 each year. This is a verbal description of the function N=N(t), where N is the population, in millions, and t is the number of years since 1960. a. Express in functional notation the population of the United States in 1963. Calculate its value. b. Use the verbal description of N to make a table of values that shows U.S. population in millions from 1960 through 1965. c. Make a graph of U.S. population versus time. Be sure to label your graph appropriately. d. Verify that the formula 1801.012tmillion people, where t is the number of years since 1960, gives the same values as those you found in the table in part b. Note: Because t is the number of years since 1960, you would use t = 2 to get the population in 1962. e. Assuming that the population has been growing at the same percentage rate since 1960, what value does the formula above give for the population in 2000? Note: The actual population in 2000 was about 281 million..arrow_forwardThe function f graphed below is defined by a polynomial equation of degree 4 .use the graph to solve the exercises.

The figure shows the volume V of fluid in the tank as a function of time t. Determine whether the input pipe and each drainpipe are open or closed in specific subintervals of the 1 hour of time shown in the graph. (There are many correct answers.)arrow_forward
