A man 6 feet tall walks at a rate of 6 feet per second away from a light that is 15 feet above the ground.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:(a)10 ft/s

(b)4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of light $=15 feet$

height of man $=6 feet$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=6 ft/s$

From diagram

$\frac{15}{y}=\frac{6}{y-x}$

$5(y-x)=2y$

$3y=5x$

differentiate both sides

$3\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=5\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Tip of shadow is moving at the rate of

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{5}{3}\times 6=10 ft/s$

(b)rate at which length of his shadow is changing

Length of shadow is $y-x$

differentiating w.r.t time

$\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}-\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} (y-x)}{\mathrm{d} t}=10-6=4 ft/s$

A tire measures 20 inches in diameter. How many revolutions will the tire have completed when it has traveled 100 yards? Express

Soloha48 [4]

<h2>Number of revolutions required to travel 100 yards is 57.</h2>

Explanation:

Diameter of tire,D = 20 inches

Perimeter of tire = πD

Perimeter of tire = π x 20 = 62.8 inches

Distance traveled = 100 yards

1 yard = 36 inches

Distance traveled = 100 x 36 = 3600 inches

In one revolution it travels 62.8 inches.

$\texttt{No of revolutions = }\frac{3600}{62.8}\\\\\texttt{No of revolutions = }57.32\\\\\texttt{No of revolutions = }57$

Number of revolutions required to travel 100 yards is 57.
