Round your answer to three decimal places. A car is traveling at 79 km/h due south at a point 4 5 kilometer north of an intersec

tion. A police car is traveling at 63 km/h due west at a point 2 5 kilometer due east of the same intersection. At that instant, the radar in the police car measures the rate at which the distance between the two cars is changing. What does the radar gun register?

Answer:

the radar gun register a rate of (-99.65 km/h)

Step-by-step explanation:#

if we assign the positive y axis to the north to south direction, positive x axis to the east to west direction and the origin at the intersection

Then the first car position yp will be

yc= y₀ - vc*t

with coordinates (0 , yc)

and the police car xp

xp = x₀ - vp*t

with coordinates (xp,0)

therefore the distance will be

r= √(xp² + yc²)

the rate of change of the distance is r'(t)=dr/dt , then

r= √(xp² + yc²)

dr/dt = 1/(2r)*(2*xp*dxp/dt+2*yp*dyc/dt) = (-1/r)*(xc*vc+yp*vp)

r'(t)=dr/dt= [-1/r(t) ]*(xc*vc+yp*vp)

at the time the radar is measuring, the distance is

r(t=0)=r₀= √(x₀² +y₀²) = √[(45 km)² +  (25 km)²]= 51.478 km

thus

r'(t=0) =  [-1/r₀ )]*(x₀*vc+y₀*vp)= -1/(51.478 km)* (45 km*79 km/h+25 km*63 km/h) = -99.65 km/h

r'(t=0) = -99.65 km/h

A standard piece of paper is 0.05 mm thick. Let's imagine taking a piece of paper and folding the paper in half multiple times.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

(a)g(n)=0.05\cdot 2^n

(b)g^{-1}(n)=\log_{2}20g(n)

(c)43 times

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>

The paper's thickness = 0.05mm

When the paper is folded, its width doubles (increases by 100%).

The thickness of the paper grows exponentially and can be modeled by the function:

g(n)=0.05(1+100\%)^n\\\\g(n)=0.05\cdot 2^n

<u>Part B</u>

<u />g(n)=0.05\cdot 2^n\\2^n=\dfrac{g(n)}{0.05}\\ 2^n=20g(n)\\$Changing to logarithm form, we have:\\\log_{2}20g(n)=n\\$Therefore:\\g^{-1}(n)=\log_{2}20g(n)<u />

<u />

<u>Part C</u>

If the thickness of the paper, g(n)=384,472,300,000 mm

Then:

g^{-1}(n)=\log_{2}20g(n)\\g^{-1}(n)=\log_{2}20\times 384,472,300,000\\=\dfrac{\log 20\times 384,472,300,000}{\log 2} \\g^{-1}(n)=42.8 \approx 43\\n=43

You must fold the paper 43 times to make the folded paper have a thickness that is the same as the distance from the earth to the moon.
