At noon, ship A is 50 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 22 knots and ship B is sailing north at 23 kn

ots. How fast (in knots) is the distance between the ships changing at 3 PM? (Note: 1 knot is a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour.)

Answer:

30.66 knots

Explanation:

Distance of ship A from B at noon = 50 NM

\frac{da}{dt} = Velocity of ship A = 22 knots = 22 NM/h

\frac{db}{dt} = Velocity of ship B = 23 knots = 23 NM/h

Distance travelled by ship A from noon to 3 PM = 22×3 = 66 NM

a = Total distance travelled by ship A = 50+66 = 116 NM

b = Total distance travelled by ship B till 3 PM = 23×3 = 69 NM

c = Distance between Ship A and B at 3 PM = √(116²+69²) = 134.97 NM

a²+b² = c²            (Pythagoras theorem)

Now differentiating with respect to time

2a\frac{da}{dt}+2b\frac{db}{dt}=2c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow a\frac{da}{dt}+b\frac{db}{dt}=c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{116\times 22+69\times 23}{134.97}=\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=30.66\ NM/h

∴ The velocity with which the distance is changing at 3 PM (3 hours later) is 30.66 knots

\small\bf \: let \: the \: distance \: of \: the \: man \: from \: the \: cliff \: be \: x

\small\bf \: thus \: time \: taken \: by \: sound \: to \: hit \: the \: cilff \: and \: return =  \frac{2x}{v}  = 1

\bf \to \: x =  \frac{320}{2} m = 160m

\small \bf \: thus \: the \: distance \: between \: the \: cliffs \:  = 160m \times 2 = 320m

Which statement correctly describes the reactivity of noble gases, according to the octet rule? Their atoms have eight electrons
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : Their atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, so noble gases are very unreactive.

Explanation:

The octet rule state that atoms tend to complete their last energy levels with eight electrons, and that this configuration make them very stable and unreactive.

Noble gases are characterized as unreactive atoms, and this is associated with the fact that they have a complete valence shell, it means that they have eight electrons on it (they follow the octet rule).

Atoms with less electrons on their valence shells tend to react with another atom, forming bonds, to complete their valence shells (with eight electrons).
