Answer:

The value  is  \frac{dR}{dt} =  -286.2 \  km/hr

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The speed of the airplane from the north is \frac{dN}{dt}  =  -181 \  km /hr

The negative sign is because the direction is towards the south

  The speed of the airplane from the east is  \frac{dE}{dt}  =  -278 \  km/hr

The negative sign is because the direction is towards the west

   The distance of the southbound plane from the airport is  N  =  30 \  km

   The distance of the westbound plane is  E =  15 \  km

Generally the distance between the plane is mathematically represented using Pythagoras theorem  as

    R^2  = N^2 + E^2

Next differentiate implicitly this equation to obtain the rate at which the distance between the planes changes

So

     2R\frac{dR}{dt} =  2N \frac{dN}{dt} +   2E\frac{dE}{dt}

Here

     R = \sqrt{N^2 + E^2}

=>    R = \sqrt{30^2 + 15^2}

=>    R = \sqrt{30^2 + 15^2}

=>    R =33.54 \ m

    2(33.54) * \frac{dR}{dt} =  2( 30)*(-181)  +   2*15*(-278)

=>   67.08 * \frac{dR}{dt} =  -19200

=>   \frac{dR}{dt} =  -286.2 \  km/hr

A car is moving 5.82M/S when it accelerates at 2.35M/S^2for 3.25S. What is its final velocity?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

vf=vi+at

vi=5.82 m/s

a=2.35 m/s2

t=3.25 s

vf=5.82+2.35*3.25

vf=5.82+7.64

vf=13.46
