An air traffic controller spots two airplanes at the same altitude converging to a point as they fly at right angles to each oth

er. One airplane is 70 miles from the point and has a speed of 140 miles per hour. The other is 240 miles from the point and has a speed of 480 miles per hour.
(a) At what rate is the distance between the planes changing?
(b) How much time does the controller have to get one of the airplanes on a different flight path?

So.... notice the picture below

we know when y = 140 and x = 240, r = 250

so let's use the pythagorean theorem

\bf r^2=x^2+y^2\implies 2r\cfrac{dr}{dt}=2x\cfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\cfrac{dy}{dt}\implies \cfrac{dr}{dt}=\cfrac{x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt}}{r}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dr}{dt}=\cfrac{240\cdot 480+70\cdot 140}{250}\implies \cfrac{dr}{dt}=500

now... how much time does the controller have? well, say, plane "y" is going at dy/dt of 140mph, and is 70 miles away, 140 is 2*70, so it can cover those 70 miles in 1/2 hr, and when it does, it'll collide with the other,

so, the controller has that much, less than 1/2 hr

If f(x)= 3x+1 is reflect across the y-axis; what would the slope & y-intercept be? *
Elden [556K]

Answer: f(x) = -3x + 1

So the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because it’s across the y-axis so the y-intercept doesn’t change. Because it’s a reflection the slope just becomes the opposite of what it originally was, so in this case it will be -3

The mass of a sheet of metal varies jointly with its area and its thickness. A sheet of metal of area 250cm2 and thickness 1mm h
noname [10]

The Formula of the relation is M = 8AT.

The mass of the metal sheet is 960 g.

The expression below shows the variation between the mass of the sheet (M), Area of the Sheet(A), and thickness (T).

Proportionality:

  • M ∝ AT

Removing the proportionality sign,

  • M = KAT

Where:

  • K = constant of proportionality.

make K the subject of the equation:

  • K = M/KT.................... Equation 1

From the question,

Given:

  • M = 200 g
  • A = 250 cm²
  • T = 1 mm = 0.1 cm

Susbtitute into equation 1

  • K = 200/(250×0.1)
  • K = 8 g/cm³

Formula:

  • M = 8AT................. equation 2

Hence the formula of the relation is M = 8AT

If,

  • A = 400 cm²
  • T = 3 mm = 0.3

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • M = 8(400)(0.3)
  • M = 960 g

Hence,  the mass of the metal sheet is 960 g
