- 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_forwardDifferential equations.

If we measure temperature T in kelvins, volume V in liters, and pressure p in atmosphere 1 atm is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere at sea level, then the relationship for carbon dioxide is given by p=0.082TV0.0433.592V2atm What volume does this equation predict for 1 mole of carbon dioxide at 500 kelvins and 100 atm?Suggestion: Consider volumes ranging from 0.1 to 1 liter.arrow_forward
- Sales Growth In this exercise, we develop a model for the growth rate G, in thousands of dollars per year, in sales of the product as a function of the sales level s, in thousands of dollars. The model assumes that there is a limit to the total amount of sales that can be attained. In this situation, we use the term unattained sales for difference this limit and the current sales level. For example, if we expect sales grow to 3 thousand dollars in the long run, then 3-s is the unattained sales. The model states that the growth rate G is proportional to the product of the sales level s, and the unattained sales. Assume that the constant of proportionality is 0.3 and that the sales grow to 2 thousand dollars in the long run. a.Find the formula for unattained sales. b.Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. c.On the basis of the equation from the part b, make a graph of G as a function of s. d.At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? e.What is the largest possible growth rate?arrow_forwardDrug Concentration When a drug is administered orally, it takes some time before the blood concentration reaches its maximum level.
