The solution is:tan(θ) = opp / adj tan(θ) = y/x xtan(θ) = y 
Find x:
x = y/tan(θ) 
So x = 3/tan(π/6) 
Perform implicit differentiation to get the equation:
dx/dt * tan(θ) + x * sec²(θ) * dθ/dt = dy/dt 
Since altitude remains the same, dy/dt = 0. Now... 
dx/dt * tan(π/6) + 3/tan(π/6) * sec²(π/4) * -π/4 = 0 
changing the equation, will give us:
dx/dt = [3/tan(π/6) * sec²(π/6) * π/4} / tan(π/6) ≈ 12.83 km/min

A cat walks along a plank with mass M= 7.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of the plank is a di
solong [7]

Answer:

Before the plank will tip cat will walk 1.652 m

Explanation:

Mass of the cat along with plank m_1=7kg

Center of mass of the plank d_1=0.850m

Mass of cat m_2=3.6kg

We have to find how far right of sawhorse B.

Plank will tip when weight of the cat about B is greater than the torque by the weight of the plank.

Balancing the the torque

m_1gd_1=m_1gd_2

7\times 9.8\times 0.850=3.6\times 9.8\times d_2

d_2=1.652m

According to the chart, one gram of copper and
ad-work [718]

Answer:

C) three

Explanation:

Let gram of gold required be m . Let temperature change in both be Δ t .

heat absorbed = mass x specific heat x change in temperature

for copper

heat absorbed = 1 x .385 x Δt

for gold

heat absorbed = m x .129 x Δt

So

m x .129 x Δt = 1 x .385 x Δt

m = 2.98

= 3 g approximately .

If the average velocity during the athlete's walk back
goblinko [34]

Hence ,From the Guide there are other parameters which with this equation will give the exact time the athlete's walk back

T=\frac{d}{1.50}

From the question we are told

If the average velocity during the athlete's walk back  to the starting line in Guided Example 2.5 is – 1.50 m/s,

Generally the equation Time spent  is mathematically given as

T=\frac{d}{v}

Therefore

T=\frac{d}{1.50}

Hence ,From the Guide there are other parameters which with this equation will give the exact time the athlete's walk back

T=\frac{d}{1.50}
