A spacecraft is in free fall toward the surface of the moon at a speed of 1000 mph (mi/h). Its retrorockets, when fired, provide a constant deceleration of 20,000 mi/h2 . At what height above the lunar surface should the astronauts fire the retrorockets to insure a soft touchdown? (As in Example 2, ignore the moon's gravitational field.)

Arthur Clarke's The WindJrom the Sun ( 1963) describes Diana, a spacecraft propelled by the solar wind. Its aluminized sail provides it with a constant acceleration of O.oolg = 0.0098 m/s2 Suppose this spacecraft starts from rest at time t = 0 and simultaneously fires a projectile (straight ahead in the same direction) that travels at one-tenth of the speed c = 3 X 1 08 m/s oflight. How long will it take the spacecraft to catch up with the projectile, and how far will it have traveled by then?

A driver involved in an accident claims he was going only 25 mph. When police tested his car, they found that when its brakes were applied at 25 mph, the car skidded only 45 feet before coming to a stop. But the driver's skid marks at the accident scene measured 210 feet. Assuming the same (constant) deceleration, determine the speed he was actually traveling just prior to the accident.

Thousands of years ago ancestors ofthe Native Americans crossed the Bering Strait from Asia and entered the western hemisphere. Since then, they have fanned out across North and South America. The single language that the original Native Americans spoke has since split into many Indian "language families." Assume (as in Problem 52) that the number of these language families has been multiplied by 1 .5 every 6000 years. There are now 150 Native American language families in the western hemisphere.

Figure 1 .4.11 shows a bead sliding down a frictionless wire from point P to point Q. The brachistochrone problem asks what shape the wire should be in order to minimize the bead's time of descent from P to Q. In June of 1696, John Bernoulli proposed this problem as a public challenge, with a 6-month deadline (later extended to Easter 1697 at George Leibniz's request). Isaac Newton, then retired from academic life and serving as Warden of the Mint in London, received Bernoulli's challenge on January 29, 1697. The very next day he communicated his own solution-the curve of minimal descent time is an arc of an inverted cycloid-to the Royal Society of London. For a modem derivation of this result, suppose the bead starts from rest at the origin P and let y = y(x) be the equation of the desired curve in a coordinate system with the y-axis pointing downward. Then a mechanical analogue of Snell's law in optics implies that --sin a = constant, v (i) where a denotes the angle of deflection (from the vertical) of the tangent line to the curve-so cot a = y' (x) (why?)-and v = .,J2gy is the bead's velocity when it has descended a distance y vertically (from KE = mv2 mgy = -PE). p Q FIGURE 1.4.11.

If P(t) satisfies the logistic equation in (3), use the chain rule to show that PII(t) = 2k2 P(P - M) (P -M). Conclude that pI! > 0 if 0 < P < 1M pI! = 0 if 2 ' P = 1M pI! < 0 if 1M < P < M and P" > 0 2 ' 2 ' if P > M. In particular, it follows that any solution curve that crosses the line P = M has an inflection point where it crosses that line, and therefore resembles one of the lower S-shaped curves in Fig. 1.7.3.

Consider two population functions PI (t) and P2 (t), both of which satisfy the logistic equation with the same limiting population M but with different values kl and k2 of the constant k in Eq. (3). Assume that kl < k2 . Which population approaches M the most rapidly? You can reason geometrically by examining slope fields (especially if appropriate software is available), symbolically by analyzing the solution given in Eq.

To solve the two equations in ( 10) for the values of k and M, begin by solving the first equation for the quantity x = e-5 0kM and the second equation for x2 = e-IOOkM. Upon equating the two resulting expressions for x2 in terms of M, you get an equation that is readily solved for M. With M now known, either of the original equations is readily solved for k. This technique can be used to "fit" the logistic equation to any three population values Po, PI, and P2 corresponding to equally spaced times to = 0, tl , and t 2 = 2tl.

Birth and death rates of animal populations typically are not constant; instead, they vary periodically with the passage of seasons. Find P (t) if the population P satisfies the differential equation dP - = (k + b cos 2:rrt)P, where t is in years and k and b are positive constants. Thus the growth-rate function r (t) = k + b cos 2:n:t varies periodically about its mean value k. Construct a graph that contrasts the growth of this population with one that has the same initial value Po but satisfies the natural growth equation P' = kP (same constant k). How would the two populations compare after the passage of many years?

The force equation for a drum falling through water is where the buoyant force B is equal to the weight (at 62.5 lb/ft3) of the volume of water displaced by the drum (Archimedes' principle) and FR is the force of water resistance, found empirically to be 1 lb for each foot per second of the velocity of a drum.
