The height of a cone is increasing at a rate of 10 cm/sec and its radius is decreasing so that its volume remains constant. How

fast is the radius changing when the radius is 4 cm and the height is 10 cm?

Answer:

dr/dt = -2 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by:

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h (1)

  • r is the radius
  • h is the height

Let's take the derivative with respect to time in each side of (1).

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3} \pi \frac{d}{dt}(r^{2}h)=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h+r^{2}\frac{dh}{dt} \right) (2)

We know that:

  • dh/dt = 10 cm / s (rate increasing of height)
  • dV/dt = 0 (constant volume means no variation with respect of time)
  • r = 4 cm
  • h = 10 cm

We can calculate how fast is the radius changing using the above information.

0=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left( 2\cdot 4\cdot \frac{dr}{dt} \cdot 10 + 4^{2}\cdot 10)\right  

Therefore dr/dt will be:

\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{160}{80}=-2 cm/s

The minus signs means that r is decreasing.

I hope it helps you!

choli [55]

Answer:

They can be seen from a distance of 4.372 kilometers.

Explanation:

Using the Reyligh creterion for diffraction through a circular aperture we have

\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}

where symbol's have their usual meaning

thus applying values we get

D=\frac{dx}{1.22\lambda }

\therefore D=\frac{0.633\times 4.61\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 547\times 10^{-9}}\\\\D=4372.77m\\=4.372km

Suppose you run into a wall at 4.5 meters per second (about 10 mph). Let's say the wall brings you to a complete stop in 0.5 sec
STatiana [176]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity,u=4.5 m/s

Time=t =0.5 s

Final velocity=v=0m/s

We have to find the deceleration and estimate the force exerted by wall on you.

We know that

Acceleration=\frac{v-u}{t}

Using the formula

Acceleration=a=\frac{0-4.5}{0.5}

deceleration=a=-9m/s^2

We know that

Force =ma

Using the formula and suppose mass  of my body=m=40 kg

The force exerted by wall on you

Force=40\times (9)=360N
