A projector is placed on the ground 22 ft. away from a projector screen. A 5.2 ft. tall person is walking toward the screen at a

rate of 3 ft./sec. How fast is the height of the person's shadow changing when the person is 13 ft. from the projector

Answer:

y = 67.6 feet,   y = 114.4/ (22 - 3t)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use that light travels in a straight line and some trigonometric relationships, the symbols are in the attached diagram

Large triangle Projector up to the screen

         tan θ = y / L

For the small triangle. Projector up to the person

         tan θ = y₀ / (L-d)

The angle is the same, so we equate the two equations

         y₀ / (L -d) = y / L

         y = y₀  L / (L-d)

The distance from the screen (d), we look for it with kinematics

         v = d / t

        d = v t

we replace

         y = y₀ L / (L - v t)

         y = 5.2 22 / (22 - 3 t)

         y = 114.4 (22 - 3t)⁻¹

This is the equation of the shadow height change as a function of time

For the suggested distance the shadow has a height of

           y = 114.4 / (22-13)

           y = 67.6 feet

Part b only please if you have time
andrew-mc [135]
To convert parametric to Cartesian systems, you need to find a way to get rid of the t's.

In this case, the t's are inside trigonometric functions, so we're going to use a very famous trig identity you should memorize:

{sin(t)}^{2} + {cos(t)}^{2} = 1

If we plug sin(t) and cos(t) into that equation only x and y variables will be left!

BUT there's one thing. The given cos(t + pi/6) has nasty extra stuff in it. However, part a gives you a tip on how to relate x and y to a nice clean cos(t)

So if we do a little rearranging:

\sin(t) = \frac{y}{2} \\ \cos(t) = \frac{x + y}{2 \sqrt{3} }

Now we can plug these into the famous trig identity!

{( \frac{y}{2}) }^{2} + {( \frac{x + y}{2 \sqrt{3} } )}^{2} = 1

Do a little bit of adjustments to get that final form asked for, and you'll be able to find those integers of a and b. ;)
