Answer:

The rate of change of the distance \frac{ds}{dt} when x = 9 and y = 12 is -7.6\:\frac{m}{s}.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of a related rate problem. A related rate problem is a problem in which we know one of the rates of change at a given instant \frac{dx}{dt} and we want to find the other rate \frac{dy}{dt} at that instant.

We know the rate of change of x-coordinate and y-coordinate:

\frac{dx}{dt}=-2\:\frac{m}{s} \\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=-8\:\frac{m}{s}

We want to find the rate of change of the distance \frac{ds}{dt} when x = 9 and y = 12.

The distance of a point (x, y) and the origin is calculated by:

s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

We need to use the concept of implicit differentiation, we differentiate each side of an equation with two variables by treating one of the variables as a function of the other.

If we apply implicit differentiation in the formula of the distance we get

s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\s^2=x^2+y^2\\\\2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{s}(x\frac{dx}{dt}+y\frac{dy}{dt})

Substituting the values we know into the above formula

s=\sqrt{9^2+12^2}=15

\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{15}(9(-2)+12(-8))\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{15}\left(-18-96\right)\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{15}(-114)=-\frac{38}{5}=-7.6\:\frac{m}{s}

The rate of change of the distance \frac{ds}{dt} when x = 9 and y = 12 is -7.6\:\frac{m}{s}

If a 2-kg block compresses a spring 800mm from its relaxed state, how much potential energy does the block have due to the sprin
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

8 Joule

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of block = 2 kg

Displacement = x = 800 mm = 0.8 m

Spring constant = k = 25 N/m

Potential Energy of a spring

Work done = Difference in Potential Energy

Work Done = Δ P.E.

\Rightarrow \Delta\ P.E.=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

⇒P.E. = 0.5×25×0.8²

⇒P.E. = 8 Nm = 8 Joule

Here already the spring constant and displacement is given so the mass will not be used while calculating the potential energy.

In triangle NLM, point S is the centroid, QS = (3x – 5) cm, and NS = (4x) cm. What is NS? 5 cm 10 cm 20 cm 30 cm
son4ous [18]

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ S is the centroid of ΔNLM

∴ S divides NG at ratio 1 : 2 from the base

∴SQ = 1/2 NS

∴3x - 5 = 1/2 (4x)

∴3x - 5 = 2x

∴3x - 2x = 5

∴x = 5

∴ NS = 4 × 5 = 20 cm

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Systematic sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

An EPA contractor needing to test the concentration of a substance in ten samples out seventy samples provided form a single source at regular time intervals.

For the contractor to effectively carry out the testing he has to employ a Non-probability system of sampling which is called Systematic sampling, because in systematic sampling we can assume the population size (x ) which in this case is 70 and the sample size( n ) to be 10

He will have to select ;  ( x / n )^th of the sampling frame for best results
