A spherical weather balloon is being inflated. The radius of the balloon is increasing at the rate of 7 cm/s. Express the surface area of the balloon as a function of time t (in seconds). (Let S(0) = 0.) . S(t) = cm^2?
Answer:
\(S(t)=196\pi t^2\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Radius of balloon increasing at the rate= 7 cm/s
Let time= t seconds
In 1 second radius =7 cm
In t second radius =R(t) = 7 t
We have to find the surface area of balloon as function of time t
We know that area of sphere=S(R)=\(4\pi R^2\)
Substitute the value
\(S(R(t))=S(t)=4\pi (7t)^2=196\pi t^2\)
Hence, \(S(t)=196\pi t^2\)
The surface area of the spherical ballon, in centimeters squared, is given by:
\(S = 196\pi t^2\)
The surface area of a sphere of radius r is given by:
\(S = 4\pi r^2\)
In this problem, the radius of the balloon is increasing at the rate of 7 cm/s and the initial surface area is of 0, hence:
\(r = 7t\)
Thus, the surface area is given by:
\(S = 4\pi r^2\)
\(S = 4\pi (7t)^2\)
\(S = 196\pi t^2\)
