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!

A horizontal force of 400 N is exerted on a 2.0-kg ball as it rotates (at
frutty [35]

Answer:

the speed of the ball is 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of exerted force, F = 400 N

mass of the ball, m = 2 kg

radius of the circle, r = 0.5

The speed of the ball is calculated by applying centripetal force formula;

F = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = \frac{Fr}{m}\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{Fr}{m}}\\\\ v = \sqrt{\frac{400*0.5}{2}}\\\\v = 10 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball is 10 m/s
