The angle of elevation changes by 0.0032 rad / sec

Let x (t) be the horizontal distance from you to bird.

Let θ be the angle of elevation of your head.

Then .tan  θ = 20 /x

Differentiating

Sec² = dθ / dt = -20/x².dx/dt

dθ / dt = -20/x².dx/dt.cos²θ

dx/dt = -2m/s   x = 110m

cos²θ = 110²/ (110²) + (20²) = 12100/12500

dθ / dt = 20/ (110)² x (-2) . 12100/12500

=  20 x 2/12500 = 0.0032 radian/s.

Hence ,

The angle of elevation changes by 0.0032 rad / sec

The graph below shows the energy sources used to generate electricity in the United States.
DedPeter [7]

The correct answer is - D. 1 percent.

The United States are the biggest consumer of electricity in the world. Because of that the United States are using multiple different sources in order to satisfy the demand for the electricity. The solar energy though accounts for only 1% of the total amount of produced electricity in the country and that is concerning. The biggest concern of course is the environmental one as the majority of the electricity is produced by sources that are polluting the environment. The other concern is that the United States are not using their potential in gaining more electricity from the solar radiation when taken in account that they have very large areas in the country that have a lot of intense solar radiation and clear skies throughout most of the year.

horsena [70]
If I'm not mistaken it should be the digestive system due to the fact that our mouths and stomachs break down food and our intestines absorb any water and nutrients
