Answer:

v = 4.66 inch/s

Explanation:

As we know that the height of the rod and the distance from the fisherman is related to each other as

x^2 + y^2 = L^2

now differentiate it with respect to time

2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 = 2L\frac{dL}{dt}

here we know that

\frac{dL}{dt} = 4 inch/s

now when

x = 20 ft  and y = 12 ft then the length of the line is given as

L^2 = 12^2 + 20^2

L = 23.3 ft

now from above relation

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{L}{x}(\frac{dL}{dt})

now we have

v_x = \frac{23.3}{20} (4 inch/s)

v_x = 4.66 inch/s

 <span>Let x be the distance of the fish to the fisherman and h be the height of the tip of fishing rod then we want to fiind dx/dt when x = 20. By property of similar triangle we have 12/x = h/20 --> h = 240/x 


Differentiating w.r.t. we obtain dh/dt = (-240/x^2)*dx/dt --> dx/dt = [(x^2)/240]*dh/dt 


At x = 20, dh/dt = 4 --> dx/dt = (-400/240)*4 = 20/3

What is the speed of a car that traveled 500 meter in 30 seconds?
GenaCL600 [577]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

To find speed, you need to remember the formula:

Speed = distance ÷ time

So plug the given values in:

500 ÷ 30 = 16.66

<h3>So the speed is 16.66m/s (metres per second)</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

What the planet after Venus
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Mercury and Venus are therefore closer to each other most of the time. But Earth is the planet closest to Venus. And that's why from here on Earth, Venus looks so big and luminous. Venus is the brightest thing in the night sky after the sun and the moon.

A person wants to make a metronome for music practice. He uses a 35-g object attached to a spring to serve as the time standard.
alukav5142 [94]

To develop this problem it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency of a spring mass system, for which it is necessary that its mathematical function is described as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Here,

k = Spring constant

m = Mass

Our values are given as,

m = 35g = 35*10^{-3}kg

f = 1 Hz

Rearranging to find the spring constant we have that,

k = (2\pi f \sqrt{m})^2

k = 4\pi^2 f^2 m

k = (4) (\pi)^2 (1) (35*10^{-3})

k = 1.38N/m

Therefore the spring constant is 1.38N/m
