Answer:

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

z^2=x^2+y^2

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

z^2=150^2+14^2

z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}

z=150.74 ft

z^2=x^2+y^2

By differentiating with respect to time t

2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

Here x is constant that is why

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are so many planets out there that there must be habitable planets if not in our galaxy but the Universe.

Although the chances of advanced life are slim, small primitive life like microbes or sea life may still exist.
