According to a simple physiological model, an athletic adult male needs 20 calories per day per pound of body weight to maintain his weight. if he consumes more or fewer calories than those required to maintain his weight, his weight changes at a rate proportional to the difference between the number of calories consumed and the number needed to maintain his current weight; the constant of proportionality is 1/3500 pounds per calorie. suppose that a particular person has a constant caloric intake of h calories per day. let w(t) be the person's weight in pounds at time t (measured in days). (a) what differential equation has solution w(t)?
dwdt=
(your answer may involve w, h and values given in the problem.)
(b) if the person starts out weighing 180 pounds and consumes 3200 calories a day. what happens to the person's weight as t→[infinity]?
w→?

If the demand function for a commodity is given by the equation p2 + 16q = 1200 and the supply function is given by the equation 300 − p2 + 2q = 0, find the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price. (round your answers to two decimal places.)

The lights used by mark watley (played by matt damon) during the film the martian seem to be metal halide lamps. metal halide lamps are filled with vaporized mercury and metal-halogen compounds. when an electric current is passed through the lamp, the tube begins to glow a bright white/blue color. if you were to pass this light through a prism to separate the individual light frequencies, you would see a rainbow just as you would if using natural sunlight because of the complexity of the metal halide gas and the vast amount of possible electron transitions. (the study of light in this way is known as spectroscopy and allows astronomers to know exactly what atoms compose distant stars, simply by looking at the light they emit. the spectral lines an atom produces uniquely identifies that atom just like a fingerprint uniquely identifies a person. the momentum equation and energy equation that we have used above can be combined to give the following equation: c = e p where again p is the phonon momentum, e is the photon energy and c is the speed of light. when you divide the photon energy found in #6 by the photon momentum found in #4, do you get the speed of light? (if not, check your work for questions #4 through #6). yes no

The experiment was repeated many years later but the gases were mixed in a different type of container. a white solid was obtained which was xenon fluoride. predict whether you think 1) krypton and 2) radon will react with fluorine. explain reasons for your predictions
