Two cars, one going due east at 25 m / sec and the second going due south at 50/3 m / sec are traveling toward the intersection

of the two roads they are driving on. At what rate are the two cars approaching each other at the instant when the first car is 200 m and the second car is 150 m from the intersection?

Answer:

30 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the distance from the first car to the intersection is x, and the distance from the second car to the intersection is y.

The distance between the cars can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

d² = x² + y²

Taking derivative with respect to time:

2d dd/dt = 2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt

d dd/dt = x dx/dt + y dy/dt

We know that x = 200, dx/dt = -25, y = 150, and dy/dt = -50/3.

To find dd/dt, we still need to find d.

d² = x² + y²

d² = (200)² + (150)²

d = 250

Plugging everything in:

250 dd/dt = (200) (-25) + (150) (-50/3)

dd/dt = -30

The cars are approaching each other at a rate of 30 m/s at that instant.

shelly is going shopping at the mall to buy three pairs of shoes. she has a coupon for $2 off per pair of shoes after buying the
kvasek [131]
Okay, to start, we can multiply the $2 coupon by two because that is the amount of pairs she is going to by. So it would be $4 off. Now, if all of the shoes she purchased the same price, this is made a little easier. We can simply take $80 and $122 and add it by the $4 discount. Our new numbers would be $84 and $126. Now in order for this to work we would want all the numbers to be the same. We take $84 and divide it by three pairs, to get the values. For the least amount she can spend per pair is $28 and the most amount she can spend per pair is $42.

The volume of a cylinder is 980pi in ^3 The height of the cylinder is 20 in. What is the radius of the cylinder?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The radius of the cylinder is 7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the radius of a cylinder we have to use the following formula:

v = volume  = 980π in³

h = height = 20in

π = pi

r = radius

v = (π * r²) * h

we replace with the known values

980π in³  = (π * (r)²) * 20in

980π in³ / 20in = π * (r)²

49 in² = (r)²

√(49 in²) = r

7 in = r

The radius of the cylinder is 7 in
