A man 6 feet tall walks at a rate of 6 feet per second away from a light that is 15 feet above the ground.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:(a)10 ft/s

(b)4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of light =15 feet

height of man=6 feet

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=6 ft/s

From diagram

\frac{15}{y}=\frac{6}{y-x}

5(y-x)=2y

3y=5x

differentiate both sides

3\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=5\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

Tip of shadow is moving at the rate of

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{5}{3}\times 6=10 ft/s

(b)rate at which length of his shadow  is changing

Length of shadow is y-x

differentiating w.r.t time

\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}-\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=10-6=4 ft/s

Sarah, who has a mass of 55 kg, is riding in a car at 20 m/s. She sees a cat crossing the street and slams on the brakes! Her se
avanturin [10]

Answer:

-2200 N

Explanation:

The change in momentum of Sarah is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah and the time during which the force is applied:

\Delta p=I\\m \Delta v = F \Delta t

where

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

In this problem:, we have:

m = 55 kg is Sarah's mass

\Delta v = 0-20 = -20 m/s  is the change in velocity

\Delta t = 0.5 s  is the duration of the collision

Solving for F, we find the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah:

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(55)(-20)}{0.5}=-2200 N

Where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to that of Sarah's initial velocity.

Dahasolnce [82]
<span>A substance that accelerates the rate of chemical reaction is called a catalyst. It serves as an alternative pathway for the reaction product. The increase of rate of chemical reaction is because catalyst has low activiation energy than the original pathway. The low activation energy will increase the amount of molecules that can benefit in the energy created by the catalyst.</span>

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

Explanation:

Here Tech A is wrong because when diagnosing an overheating hydraulic system, it is not necessary to un plugg the oil cooler rather it should be plugged to for proper diagnosis.

Technician B says running the hydraulic system at a lower operating temperature will reduce the possibly of oil oxidation is correct statement because at temperature oil's physical as well as chemical property tend to change.

Hence, Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.
