A fan is designed to last for a certain time before it will have to be replaced (planned obsolescence). The fan only has one speed (at a maximum of 650 rpm), and it reaches the speed in 2.0 s (starting from rest). It takes the fan 7.0 s for the blade to stop once it is turned off. The manufacturer specifies that the fan will operate up to 1 billion rotations. Andre lives in a hot climate, works outside of the home from approximately 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, does not own an air conditioner, and can't sleep with the fan running. Estimate how many hot days ?hot Andre will be able to use the fan, rounded to the nearest day.

Solve the following ordinary differential equations by
separating variables and integration.
1. y'sinx=ylny, the boundary condition (b.c.) is that the function
passes through (y=e,x=pi/3)
2. y'+2xy2=0, b.c. (y=1;x=2)
3. y'-xy=x, b.c. (y=1;x=0)

A charge of uniform linear density 2.20 nC/m is distributed along a long, thin, nonconducting rod. The rod is coaxial with a long conducting cylindrical shell (inner radius = 4.00 cm, outer radius = 9.00 cm). The net charge on the shell is zero. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field at distance r = 13.0 cm from the axis of the shell? What is the surface charge density on the (b) inner and (c) outer surface of the shell?

Coherent electromagnetic waves with wavelength λ=500nm pass through two identical slits. The width of each slit is aa, and the distance between the centers of the slits is d=9.00mm.
a.What is the smallest possible width aa of the slits if the m=3 maximum in the interference pattern is not present?
b.What is the next larger value of the slit width for which the m=3 maximum is absent?

Using a crowbar, a person can remove a nail by exerting little force, whereas pulling directly on the nail requires a large force to remove it (you probably can't). Why? Using a crowbar, a person can remove a nail by exerting little force, whereas pulling directly on the nail requires a large force to remove it (you probably can't). Why?
A.The applied force is at a large distance from the pivot, giving rise to a large torque.
B.The applied force is at a small distance from the pivot, giving rise to a large torque.
C.The applied force is at a large distance from the pivot, giving rise to a small torque.
D. Because the crowbar is heavy.

In the formula A(t)=A0e^kt, A is the amount of radioactive material remaining from an initial amount A0 at a given time t, and k is a negative constant determined by the nature of the material. A certain radioactive isotope decays at a rate of 0.175% annually. Determine the half-life of this isotope, to the nearest year.
