Rate of Change of Volume of Sphere w/ Radius Expanding at 50 cm/min

In summary, the rate of change of volume of a sphere with a radius expanding at 50 cm/min is approximately 4π cm^3/min. This rate is directly proportional to the rate of expansion of the radius, meaning that a faster expansion will result in a higher rate of change of volume. The rate of change of volume cannot be negative, and it can be calculated using the formula dV/dt = 4πr^2dr/dt. Additionally, the rate of change of volume is dependent on the size of the sphere, as a larger sphere will result in a higher rate of change of volume.

1. Assume that the radius r of a sphere is expanding at a rate of 50 cm/min. The volume of a sphere is V= 4/3 πr^3 and its surface area is 4πr^2.Determine the rate of change of volume when r = 13 cm



2. I tried d/dr=8*13*50*pi



3. 5200pi but is wrong

Pls post your reasoning/working to obtain that expression for (I presume you meant) dV/dr.
 

FAQ: Rate of Change of Volume of Sphere w/ Radius Expanding at 50 cm/min

1. What is the rate of change of volume of a sphere with a radius expanding at 50 cm/min?

The rate of change of volume of a sphere with a radius expanding at 50 cm/min is approximately 4π cm^3/min.

2. How is the rate of change of volume of a sphere affected by the rate of expansion of its radius?

The rate of change of volume of a sphere is directly proportional to the rate of expansion of its radius. This means that as the radius expands at a faster rate, the rate of change of volume also increases.

3. Can the rate of change of volume of a sphere be negative?

No, the rate of change of volume of a sphere cannot be negative. As the radius expands, the volume of the sphere will always increase, resulting in a positive rate of change of volume.

4. How can the rate of change of volume of a sphere be calculated?

The rate of change of volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula dV/dt = 4πr^2dr/dt, where dV/dt represents the rate of change of volume, r represents the radius, and dr/dt represents the rate of change of the radius.

5. Does the rate of change of volume of a sphere depend on the size of the sphere?

Yes, the rate of change of volume of a sphere is directly proportional to the size of the sphere. As the sphere gets larger, the rate of change of its volume will also increase.
