The population of chipmunks at a nature preserve is modelled by the function \(P(t)=\dfrac{`a`0}{1+7e^{-0.035t}}+`b`0\) adult chipmunks, where \(t\) measures the time, in months, since chipmunk monitoring began at the site. What does this model predict for the maximum number of chipmunks at the preserve?   Desmos (click to reveal)

The graph below shows the function \(f(x)\) along with a dashed line. The line in the graph is a line. The slope of this line is an rate of change of \(f(x)\).

According to the second law of thermodynamics, which of the following applies to the heat received from a high temperature reservoir by a heat engine operating in a complete cycle?

Use this information to answer the three (3) following questions: A mass m = 3 kg is placed on an ideal spring with spring constant k = 185 N/m and is free to oscillate on a horizontal surface with no friction.  The mass is pulled 16 cm to the left of equilibrium and released at t = 0 s. How much time does it take for the mass to return to equilibrium for the first time after being released at t = 0 s?

A blimp is filled with 200 m3 of helium. How much mass can the balloon lift? The density of helium is 1/7 that of air, and the density of air is 1/800 that of water.  (ρwater = 1000 kg/m3)

Use the information below to answer the four (4) following questions:A graph of position versus time for an object oscillating at the free end of a horizontal spring is shown below. A point or points at which the object has positive velocity and zero acceleration is(are)

Use the information below to answer the three (3) following questions: A cylindrical grindstone of mass m = 18 kg and radius R = 0.8 m is initially rotating freely at 26π radians/s.  An axe is brought into contact with the grindstone which brings it to a stop after 30 revolutions. What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the grindstone?
