An airplane flying at an altitude of 6 miles passes directly over a radar antenna. When the airplane is 10 miles away (s = 10),

the radar detects that the distance s is changing at a rate of 290 miles per hour. What is the speed of the airplane?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

altitude of the Plane h=6\ miles

When Airplane is s=10\ miles away

Distance is changing at the rate of \frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}=290\ mph

From diagram we can write as

h^2+x^2=s^2

differentiate above equation w.r.t time

2h\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}+2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

as altitude is not changing therefore \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0

0+x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

at s=10\ miles\ and\ h=6\ miles

substitute the value we get x=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=8\ miles

8\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\times 290

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=362.5\ mph

Find the final velocity of a 40 kg skateboarder traveling at an initial velocity of 10 m/s that moves up a hill from a height of
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

vf = 0

Explanation:

Since the initial height hi = 0, we can rewrite the energy equation as

vf^2 = vi^2 - 2ghf = (10 m/s)^2 - 2(10 m/s^2)(5 m) = 0

Therefore, his final velocity vf is

vf = 0
