Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of change of temperature of an object in a surrounding medium is proportional to the difference of the temperature of the medium and the temperature of the object. Suppose a metal bar, initially at temperature 50 degrees Celsius, is placed in a room which is held at the constant temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. One minute later the bar has cooled to 40.18316 degrees . Write the differential equation that models the temperature in the bar (in degrees Celsius) as a function of time (in minutes). Hint: You will need to find the constant of proportionality. Start by calling the constant k and solving the initial value problem to obtain the temperature as a function of k and t . Then use the observed temperature after one minute to solve for k .

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explain the difference between each pair of concepts. a. frequency and relative frequency b. percentage and relative frequency a. select the correct choice below. a. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. b. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of a value to the total number of observations. c. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the ratio of the number of times a particular distinct value occurs to the frequency. d. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of two different values.
