Two buses are driving along parallel freeways that are 5mi apart, one heading east and the other heading west. Assuming that eac

h bus drives a constant 55 mph, find the rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart, heading toward each other.

Answer:

101.54m/h

Explanation:

Given that the buses are 5mi apart, and that they are both driving at the same speed of 55m/h, rate of change of distance can be determined using differentiation as;

Let l be the be the distance further away at which they will meet from the current points;

l=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=12m\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=-(55m/h+55m/h})\\\\=-110m/h#The speed toward each other.

\frac{dh}{dt}=0, \ \ \ \ h=constant\\\\h^2+l^2=b^2\\\\2h\frac{dh}{dt}+2l\frac{dl}{dt}=2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\2\times5\times0+2\times12\times(-110)=2\times13\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=-101.54m/h

Hence, the rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart is 101.54m/h

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta

1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta

solving for\theta

sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}

\theta =  22 degree

from shadow- stick traingle

tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}

s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length
