Suppose you are climbing a hill whose shape is given by the equation z = 2000 − 0.005x2 − 0.01y2, where x, y, and z are measured

in meters, and you are standing at a point with coordinates (60, 40, 1966). The positive x-axis points east and the positive y-axis points north. (a) If you walk due south, will you start to ascend or descend? ascend descend Correct: Your answer is correct. At what rate? Correct: Your answer is correct. vertical meters per horizontal meter (b) If you walk northwest, will you start to ascend or descend? ascend descend Correct: Your answer is correct. At what rate? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Correct: Your answer is correct. vertical meters per horizontal meter (c) In which direction is the slope largest?

Answer:

(a) Ascend at 0.8 vertical meter/meter

(b) Descend at -0.2·√2 vertical meter/meter

(c) In the (-0.6, -0.8) direction. The path begins at 45° to the horizontal

Explanation:

The given equation of the shape of the hill is z = 2000 - 0.005·x² - 0.01·y²

The current location = (60, 40, 1966)  

The direction of the positive x-axis = east

The direction of the positive y-axis = north

(a) Walking due south = Reducing the y-value 40

From the equation, the elevation varies inversely with the motion towards the north

Therefore, walking south increases the elevation, and we ascend

The rate is given by the partial derivative at in the -j direction, which is 0.02

The rate is therefore 40 × 0.02 = 0.8

(b)The unit vector in the northwest direction u = 1/√2·(-1, 1)

∴ The rate = (-0.01(60), -0.02(40))·u = (-0.6, -0.8)·1/√2·(-1, 1) = -0.2·√2

Therefore we descend

(c) The slope is largest in the grad of the function at the point (60, 40) which is given as follows;

d(2000 - 0.005·x² - 0.01·y² )/dx, d(2000 - 0.005·x² - 0.01·y² )/dy = (-0.6, -0.8)

Therefore, the direction is tan⁻¹(-0.8/-0.6) ≈ S 36.87° W

The slope =(√((-0.4)² + (-0.8)²) = 1

Therefore, the angle is 45° to the horizontal.

Suppose you are standing at the exact center of a park surrounded by a circular road. An ambulance drives completely around this
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: The pitch of the sound does not change.

Explanation: The pitch of sound wave is dependent on the frequency of the sound wave. The frequency of sound wave when their is a relative motion between an observer and a source is given by Doppler effect.

Doppler effect is a mathematical equation that gives the relationship between the observed frequency by an observer from any sound source and the relative motion between the observer and the source.

Mathematically,

f'= (v+v') /(v-vs) * f

Where f' = observed frequency of sound wave

v= speed of sound in air

v'= velocity of observer relative to sound source

vs= velocity of sound source relating to observer

f= frequency of sound produced by source

The observer is at the center, thus the distance between the observer and the source is constant (according to mensuration, the radius is constant for any given circle and since the car is moving along a circular path and the observer is at the center, thus the distance between them is constant), thus making the relative velocity between the observer and the source constant (vs=constant).

Also the frequency of sound wave produce by the source is a constant (f=constant)

The speed of sound in air is also a constant (v=336m/s)

The observer is standing at the center thus he is not moving, hence the relative motion between observer and source is also constant (v'=constant)

Since all parameters are constant, then the observed frequency will be constant too.

If this decay has a half-life of 10.2 years, what mass of 60.8g carbon-14 will remain after 20.4 years
OLEGan [10]
20.4 years is 20.4/10.2 = 2 half-life cycles, which means a quarter of the starting mass or 15.2 g will remain after this time.

When t= 1 a stone B is thrown vertically upwards from ground level with speed 5ms (ii) find t when a and b collide
Ksju [112]

Answer:

i don't know if this is good for you but

Explanation:

ignoring frictional air resistance (drag) the speed on return is the same as when it left the ground (5 m/s but in the opposite direction).

Note: this points out a good reason for not firing live bullets into the air..they will return somewhere and at the same speed.

However, if you take into account the atmospheric drag the reurn speed will be somewhat smaller (but in the case of a bullet, probably still lethal.) Drag depends on many factors and is difficult to calculate.

If the force of a golf club on a golf ball is 200 N forward, what will the force of the ball on the club be? A. 200 N forward B.
Korolek [52]

The ball should put 200 N of force towards the golfer.

Newton's Third Law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

It's the ball exerting 200 N of force towards the club as well, but the opposite reaction is that it flies away.
