This problem deals with the RC circuit shown to the right containing a resistor​ (R ohms), a capacitor​ (C farads), a​ switch, a source of​ emf, but no inductor. The differential equation for this circuit is given below.

R(dQ/dT)+1/c(Q)=E(t)

this is an equation for the charge Q(t) on the capacitor at time t. Note that I(t)=Q'(t). Use the values R=100, C=5.0x10^-4, Q(0)=0, and E(t)=100cos120t to find (a) and (b) below:

a: find Q(t) and I(t)

b: What is the amplitude of the​ steady-state current?

Consider a projectile launched at a height h feet above the ground and at an angle θ with the horizontal. If the initial velocity is v0 feet per second, the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations

x = t(v0 cos(θ))

and

y = h + (v0 sin(θ))t − 16t2.



The center field fence in a ballpark is 10 feet high and 400 feet from home plate. The ball is hit h = 3 feet above the ground. It leaves the bat at an angle of θ degrees with the horizontal at a speed of 107 miles per hour (see figure).

(a) Write a set of parametric equations for the path of the ball. (Write your equations in terms of t and θ.)

x =
y =



(b) Use a graphing utility to graph the path of the ball when θ = 15°. Is the hit a home run?

YesNo    


(c) Use a graphing utility to graph the path of the ball when θ = 23°. Is the hit a home run?

YesNo    


(d) Find the minimum angle at which the ball must leave the bat in order for the hit to be a home run. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Find the system of equations to model the problem. Don't solve the system.

A paper company produces high grade, medium grade and low grade paper. The number of tons of each grade produced from a ton of pulp depends on the source of the pulp. The following table shows three different sources and the amount of each grade of paper that can be produced from one tonne of pulp from each source.

(Number of tons)

High grade Medium grade Low grade
Pulp from Brazil 0.6 0.3 0.1
Domestic pulp 0.5 0.3 0.2
Recycled pulp 0.3 0.4 0.3

The company has received an order for 11 tons of high grade paper, 15 tons of medium grade paper, and 14 tons of low grade paper. How many tons of each type of pulp must be used to accurately fulfill this order? Establish a system of linear equations. Let x, y, and z equal the number of tons of Brazilian pulp, domestic pulp, and recycled pulp, respectively, needed to fulfill the order.
