An airliner maintaining a constant elevation of 2 miles passes over an airport at noon traveling 500 mi/hr due west. At 1:00 PM,

another airliner passes over the same airport at the same elevation traveling due north at 550 mi/h. Assuming both airliners maintain the (equal) elevations, how fast is the distance between them changing at 2:30 PM

Answer:

\frac{ds}{dt}\approx 743.303\,\frac{mi}{h}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that airliners travel at constant speed. The equations for travelled distance of each airplane with respect to origin are respectively:

First airplane

r_{A} = 500\,\frac{mi}{h}\cdot t\\r_{B} = 550\,\frac{mi}{h}\cdot t

Where t is the time measured in hours.

Since north and west are perpendicular to each other, the staight distance between airliners can modelled by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

s=\sqrt{r_{A}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}}

Rate of change of such distance can be found by the deriving the expression in terms of time:

\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{r_{A}\cdot \frac{dr_{A}}{dt}+r_{B}\cdot \frac{dr_{B}}{dt}}{\sqrt{r_{A}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}} }

Where \frac{dr_{A}}{dt} = 500\,\frac{mi}{h} and \frac{dr_{B}}{dt} = 550\,\frac{mi}{h}, respectively. Distances of each airliner at 2:30 PM are:

r_{A}= (500\,\frac{mi}{h})\cdot (1.5\,h)\\r_{A} = 750\,mi

r_{B}=(550\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (1.5\,h)\\r_{B} = 825\,mi

The rate of change is:

\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{(750\,mi)\cdot (500\,\frac{mi}{h} )+(825\,mi)\cdot(550\,\frac{mi}{h})}{\sqrt{(750\,mi)^{2}+(825\,mi)^{2}} }

\frac{ds}{dt}\approx 743.303\,\frac{mi}{h}

Can someone help me with this?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not E becuase SQRT(97) is less than SQRT(100), SQRT(100) is 10,

SQRT(81) is 9 SO SQRT(97) is between 9 and 10, C.

Hope it helps :)

2y-____=0;y=0 HELPPPPPPP
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

<em>D.)  0</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Its not A.  cause 2y−2=0  is y = 1

Its not B. cause 2y−1=0  is y = 1/2

Its not C. cause 2y−3=0  is y = 3/2

Soo... The only option left is D.

It IS D. cause 2y − 0 = 0  is y=0

<em>So you are Correct!!!</em>

<em>hope I helped... <3</em>

<em>Good luck dear :)</em>
