1. Athletes get in the playfield stadium following a queue at a rate indicated by the

following expression;

𝑃(𝑞) =⎰ (66[16𝑡 − 4𝑡 2 ]) 𝑓𝑜𝑟 0 ≤ 𝑞 ≤ 600

Whereby p(q) represents the rate per athlete in minutes (p). The athletes get into the field via the

queue at the rate of 2 athletes per minutes. The number of individuals in the queue at time 0 was

12.

a) How many athletes enter the stadium during the interval 0 ≤ 𝑞 ≤ 600?

b) There were athletes who were hesitant to enter the stadium during the interval indicated

in part (a). How many athletes were in the queue at the time p=400?

2. A helium gas-particle moves with a velocity given by;

3 cos(0.89𝑡 4 )
𝑣(𝑡) =
𝑡 4 − 𝑡 2 − 24

For time 0≤t≤10.25. The helium gas particle is stationary at point 5 on the y-axis of the plane.

a) Find the acceleration of the helium particle at time t=6

b) What was the distance moved by the particle at time t=6?

c) A neon particle is also moving along the same plane with the position x1(t)= 𝑡 4 − 𝑡 3 − 4

at the same interval 0≤t≤10.25. At what time does the helium and neon particles move at

similar velocities?

3. Water is leaking from a cylindrical tank into the main house, and the volume of the

leakage increases significantly at a continuous rate of 100𝑐𝑚3 per second, where the

radius of the tank is 75 cm, and the height is 0.69m.

a) What is the rate of change of the leakage in centimeters per minute?

b) What is the volume of the overall leakage in 2 hours?
