Let P(t)P ( t ) be the performance level of someone learning a skill as a function of the training time t. The graph of P is called a learning curve. We propose the differential equation dPdt=r(G−P(t))\frac { d P } { d t } = r ( G - P ( t ) ) as a reasonable model for learning, where r is a positive constant. Solve it as a linear differential equation.

One model for the spread of an epidemic is that the rate of spread is jointly proportional to the number of infected people and the number of uninfected people. In an isolated town of 50005000 inhabitants, 130130 people have a disease at the beginning of the week and 15001500 have it at the end of the week. How long does it take for 50%50 \% of the population to be infected?

Experiments show that if the chemical reaction N2O5→2NO2+12O2\mathrm { N } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 5 } \rightarrow 2 \mathrm { NO } _ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } takes place at 45∘C45 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } , the rate of reaction of dinitrogen pentoxide is proportional to its concentration as follows : −d[ N2O5]dt=0.0007[ N2O5]- \frac { d \left[ \mathrm {~N} _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 5 } \right] } { d t } = 0.0007 \left[ \mathrm {~N} _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 5 } \right] How long will the reaction take to reduce the concentration of N2O5\mathrm { N } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } _ { 5 } to 50% of its original value?

Let c be a positive number. A differential equation of the form dydt=ky1+c\frac { d y } { d t } = k y ^ { 1 + c } where k is a positive constant, is called a doomsday equation because the exponent in the expression ky1+ck y ^ { 1 + c } is larger than the exponent 1for natural growth. An especially prolific breed of rabbits has the growth term ky106k y ^ { 106 } . If 55 such rabbits breed initially and the warren has 2525 rabbits after 55 months, then when is doomsday?

An object with mass m is dropped from rest and we assume that the air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object. If s(t)s ( t ) is the distance dropped after t seconds, then the speed is v=s′(t)v = s ^ { \prime } ( t ) and the acceleration is a=v′(t)a = v ^ { \prime } ( t ) . If g is the acceleration due to gravity, then the downward force on the object is mg−cvm g - c v , where c is a positive constant, and Newton's Second Law gives mdvdt=mg−cvm \frac { d v } { d t } = m g - c v . Find the limiting velocity.

The population of the world was about 5.3 billion in 1990. Birth rates in the 1990s range from 35 to 40 million per year and death rates range from 15 to 20 million per year. Let's assume that the carrying capacity for world population is 100 billion. Use the logistic model to predict the world population in the 2,450 year. Calculate your answer in billions to one decimal place. (Because the initial population is small compared to the carrying capacity, you can take k to be an estimate of the initial relative growth rate.)
