A firework is launched at the rate of 10 feet per second from a point on the ground 50 feet from an observer. to 2 decimal place

Kazeer [188]

The rate of change of the angle of elevation when the firework is 40 feet above the ground is 0.12 radians/second.

First we will draw a right angle triangle ΔABC, where ∠B = 90°

Lets, assume the height(AB) = h and base(BC)= x

If the angle of elevation, ∠ACB = α, then

tan(α) = $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{h}{x}$

Taking inverse trigonometric function, α = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{h}{x}$ ) .............(1)

As we need to find the rate of change of the angle of elevation, so we will differentiate both sides of equation (1) with respect to time (t) :

$\frac{d\alpha}{dt}=[\frac{1}{1+ \frac{h^2}{x^2}}]*(\frac{1}{x})\frac{dh}{dt}$

Here, the firework is launched from point B at the rate of 10 feet/second and when it is 40 feet above the ground it reaches point A,

that means h = 40 feet and $\frac{dh}{dt}$ = 10 feet/second.

C is the observer's position which is 50 feet away from the point B, so x = 50 feet.

$\frac{d\alpha}{dt}= [\frac{1}{1+ \frac{40^2}{50^2}}] *\frac{1}{50} *10\\ \\ \frac{d\alpha}{dt} = [\frac{1}{1+\frac{16}{25}}] *\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{d\alpha}{dt} = [\frac{25}{41}] *\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{d\alpha}{dt}= \frac{5}{41} =0.1219512$

= 0.12 (Rounding up to two decimal places)

So, the rate of change of the angle of elevation is 0.12 radians/second.

Calculus Problem

Roman55 [17]

The two parabolas intersect for

$8-x^2 = x^2 \implies 2x^2 = 8 \implies x^2 = 4 \implies x=\pm2$

and so the base of each solid is the set

$B = \left\{(x,y) \,:\, -2\le x\le2 \text{ and } x^2 \le y \le 8-x^2\right\}$

The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas, $|x^2-(8-x^2)| = 2|x^2-4|$ . But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to $2(x^2-4)$ .

a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of

$\left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = 4(x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 4(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx \\\\ = 8 \int_0^2 (x^4-8x^2+16) \, dx \\\\ = 8 \left(\frac{2^5}5 - \frac{8\times2^3}3 + 16\times2\right) = \boxed{\frac{2048}{15}}$

where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.

b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of

$\dfrac\pi8 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \dfrac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \frac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \pi \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx$

Using the result of part (a), the volume is

$\displaystyle \frac\pi8 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{256\pi}{15}}}$

c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is

$\dfrac{\sqrt3}4 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \sqrt3 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x$

and using the result of part (a) again, the volume is

$\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \sqrt 3(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \frac{\sqrt3}4 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{512}{5\sqrt3}}$

in triangle PQR the measure of angle R=90, QP=73, RQ=55, and PR=48. what is the value of the sine of angle P to the nearest Hund

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

P ≈ 48.89°(nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle PQR forms a right angle triangle since angle R is 90°. The triangle has an hypotenuse , adjacent and opposite side.

Using the SOHCAHTOA principle one can find the sine ratio of angle P. Let us designate where each side represent.

opposite side(QR) = 55

adjacent side(PR) = 48

hypotenuse(PQ) = 73

sin P = opposite/hypotenuse

sin P = 55/73

P = sin⁻¹ 55/73

P = sin⁻¹ 0.75342465753

P = 48.8879095605

P ≈ 48.89°(nearest hundredth)

you need to fill a water jug with 8.23 L. you filled it with 2.92 L and then added 3.14 more how much more water do you need?

dalvyx [7]

Find out how much you filled.

2.92 + 3.14 = 6.06 L

Find the remaining.

8.23 L - 6.06 L = 2.17 L

You need 2.17 L more to fill the water jug
