Answer:
The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is ft/ sec
Explanation:
Given:
h(t) = 25 ft/sec
x(t) = 10 ft/ sec
h(5) = 25 ft/sec . 5 = 125 ft
x(5) = 10 ft/sec . 5 = 50 ft
Now we can calculate the distance between the person and the helicopter by using the Pythagorean theorem
Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time
Substituting the values of h(t) and x(t) and simplifying we get,
=
=
ft / sec
Answer:
Your friend is 2.143 blocks from the restaurant.
You are 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.
Explanation:
Let t be the time both you and your friend take to walk to the restaurant.
The distance (m) from your building to the restaurant is your walking time t times your speed v1
Similarly the distance (m) from your friend building to the restaurant:
Let b be the length (in m) of a block, the total distance of 5 blocks is 5b
So your friend are 2.143b meters from the restaurant, since each block is b meters long, 2.143b meters would equals to 2.143b/b = 2.143 blocks. And you are 5 - 2.143 = 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.
