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}

RS bisects TU at Q. If TQ=5k-9 and QU=15-x
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

x = 4, TU = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that TS bisects TU at Q , then

TQ = QU , substitute values

5x - 9 = 15 - x ( add x to both sides )

6x - 9 = 15 ( add 9 to both sides )

6x = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 4

Thus

TU = 5x - 9 + 15 - x = 4x + 6 = 4(4) + 6 = 16 + 6 = 22

The length of a rectangle is 5 times the width. If the perimeter is to be greater than 36 meters. What are the possible values f
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

  The width must be greater than 3 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width. Then 5w will represent the length, which is 5 times the width. The perimeter is the total of the side lengths of the rectangle, so is ...

  P = 2w + 2(5w) = 12w

We want this to be greater than 36 m, so ...

  P > 36 m

  12w > 36 m . . . . . . . substitute our expression for P

  w > 3 m . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12

The possible values for width are those values that are more than 3 meters.

YU HAVE 1 CASE OF SOAP BARS AND THERE ARE 150 BARS IN A CASE..YU USE 300 BARS OF SOAP PER DAY. HOW MANY CASES DO YOU NEED TO HAV
Fittoniya [83]
If you need 300 bars per day, you need 2 cases per day (2*150 = 300).

Therefore you need 2*7 = 14 cases per week

You can subtract the case you already have leaving you with 13 cases needed
