A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 21 deg C and is taken outside. Where the air temperature is -10 deg C. After one-half minute the temperature reads 12 deg C. What is the reading of the thermometer at t = 1 min? (round your answer to two decimal places) How long will it take for the thermometer to reach -8 deg C? round your answer to two decimal places)

Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. (i) A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 3 km from the nearest point B on a straight shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Points B and D are 10 km apart. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) In general, if it takes 1.2 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? km from B (b) Let W and L denote the energy (in joules) per kilometer flown over water and land, respectively. Assuming the bird's energy expenditure is minimized, determine a function for the ratio WL in terms of x, the distance from B to C. W/L = (c) What should the value of W/L be in order for the bird to fly directly to its nesting area D? (d) If the ornithologists observe that birds of a certain species reach the shore at a point 2 km from B, how many times more energy does it take a bird to fly over water than land?

Two carts, A and B, are connected by a rope 39 ft long that passes over a pulley P (see the figure). The point Q is on the floor h = 12 ft directly beneath P and between the carts. Cart A is being pulled away from Q at a speed of 4 ft/s. How fast is cart B moving toward Q at the instant when cart A is 5 ft from Q? (Hint: There are a few different ways to solve this, but note that side AP and side BP are changing at the same speed) (Round your answer to two decimal places) (Note the question asks "How FAST. . . " so enter your answer as a positive number even though the distance from B to Q is getting smaller) ft/s

A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the temperature was a constant 21 deg C. At the time of discovery the core temperature of the body was determined to be 28 deg C. One hour later a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body was 25 deg C. Assume that the time of death corresponds to t = 0 and that the core temperature at that time was 37 deg C. Determine how many hours elapsed before the body was found. [Hint: Let t1 > 0 denote the time that the body was discovered](Round your answer to one decimal place)
