Why are these two answers wrong?

second one: must use this rule: \[\frac{ dV}{ dt } = \frac{ dV }{ dv }\frac{ dv }{ dt }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm what numbers would I plug in though? would the dvs cancel?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the derivative, so, (2.99*10^16)/r^2 which then is written as (2.99*10^16)*r^-2 then take the derivative like this... (2) (2.99*10^16)*r^-2 then this.. (2) (2.99*10^16)*r^-3 then convert it back to a fraction (2) (2.99*10^16) / r^3 thus 5.98x10^16 / r^3 then plug in r taking the derivative is needed because the phrase "rate of change" is used in the question.

OpenStudy (ranga):

For the second problem: V = -Blv ---- (1) v = 8t + 9 Substiture v in equation (1) Then find dV/dt

OpenStudy (ranga):

In first problem don't forget the negative sign when you find dF/dr.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DemolisionWolf why did you not do the derivative of the top? Also when I plugged in r I got 1.927237236e^-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ranga: 1=8t+9 -8=8t t=-1

OpenStudy (ranga):

No. v = 8t + 9 V = -Blv = -Bl(8t + 9) What is dV/dt = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be -4.8(8t+9) and then would I distribute?

OpenStudy (ranga):

Yes, distribute and then find the derivative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V=-38.4 ah thanks for help, do you know what went wrong with problem one?

OpenStudy (ranga):

Yes. First you have to find dF/dr when F(r) = (2.99 x 10^16)/r^2. DemolisionWolf has done it above. I will just add a negative sign to the result. Can you try finding dF/dr by yourself again?

OpenStudy (ranga):

Don't worry about the constant term initially. Just find derivative for 1/r^2 first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F(r)=-5.98x10^16 / r^3 F(r)=1/2r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be flipped and -2r

OpenStudy (ranga):

OK, you got dF(r)/dr = -5.98x10^16 / r^3 which is correct. Just plug in r = 6.77 x 10^6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm I got -1.927237236e^-4, maybe I should use e instead of x10

OpenStudy (ranga):

You got mostly correct. But the e should be 10. The answer is -1.927237236 x 10^-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I typed that in and it wants an exact answer so I x10^-4 and got -192723.724 but it still coming up as incorrect let me try again.

OpenStudy (ranga):

Try 0.00019272372

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still no luck

OpenStudy (ranga):

Don't forget the negative sign

OpenStudy (ranga):

Does it say how many decimals in the answer or if the answer should be in scientific notation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh that got it lol, that weird why it did not take scientific notation, thanks a lot for the help!

OpenStudy (ranga):

Glad to help.
