Concept explainers
Heart Pacemaker A heart pacemaker consists of a switch, a battery of constant voltage E0, a capacitor with constant capacitance C, and the heart as a resistor with constant resistance R. When the switch is closed, the capacitor charges; when the switch is open, the capacitor discharges, sending an electrical stimulus to the heart. During the time the heart is being stimulated, the voltage E across the heart satisfies the linear differential equation
Solve the DE, subject to E(4) = E0.

- The population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardThe population in a certain town is increasing linearly each year. The population at time t=4 is 1580 and at time t=7 is 2000, where t is the number of years after 1990.arrow_forwardCalculate the active and reactive components of current in each phase of a star - connected 10,000 volts, 3 phase generator supplying 5,000 kW at a lagging p.f.0.8. Find the new output if the current is maintained at the same value but the p.f. is raised to 0.9 lagging.arrow_forward
- In 2003, the owl population in a park was measured to be 340. By 2007, the population changes linearly. Let the input be years since 1990. a. Find a formula for the ow population, P. Let the input be years since 2003. b. What does your model predict the owl population to be in 2012?arrow_forwardPlease help me mu econ homework. My time is up.

- The urban heat island phenomenon hasbeen observed in Tokyo. The average temperature was13.5C in 1915, and since then has risen 0.032C per year. Assuming that temperature T (in C) is linearly related to time t (in years) and that T=0 corresponds to 1915, express T in terms of t.arrow_forwardThe population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of other factors, the population doubles each week. There are 400,000 mosquitoes in the area initially, and predators (birds, bats, and so forth) eat 50,000 mosquitoes/day. Determine the population of mosquitoes in the area at any time. (Note that the variable t represents days.)arrow_forwardBeth makes a deposit into an account which credits interest at a nominal interest rate of 9% per annum, convertible semiannually. At the same time, David deposits 1000 into a different bank account, which is credited with simple interest. At the end of 4 years, the forces of interest on the two accounts are equal, and David's account has accumulated to X. Find the value of X. X =arrow_forward
