A 66​-foot-tall woman walks at 55 ​ft/s toward a street light that is 2424 ft above the ground. What is the rate of change of th

e length of her shadow when she is 19 ft19 ft from the street​ light? At what rate is the tip of her shadow​ moving? Let L be the length of the​ woman's shadow and let x be the​ woman's distance from the street light. Write an equation that relates L and x.

Answer:

a. \frac{dx}{dt}=20ft/s

b. \frac{d(x+L)}{dt}==25ft/s

Explanation:

Using the triangle theorem both triangle the woman makes between the light so the rate of change of length can use geometry first

tan(\beta)=\frac{24ft}{L+x}=\frac{6ft}{x}

Solve to find the rate relation

x=\frac{24}{6}*L

x=4*L

Now the rate of the change rate

\frac{dx}{dt}=4*\frac{dL}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt}=4*5ft/s=20ft/s

Finally the rate of her shadow moving

\frac{d(x+L)}{dt}=\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{dL}{dt}

\frac{d(x+L)}{dt}=20ft/s+5ft/s=25ft/s

A 0.4-kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a 0.8–kg toy car that is traveling in the opposite di
Gemiola [76]

Hey there!

Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.

0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s

–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s


So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.


Hope this helps

An Olympic discus thrower (~100 kg) launches the 2.0 kg discus by spinning rapidly (~4 times per second) with arm outstretched (
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,                      

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg                

angular speed of the disk  = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m                  

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r                        

ω = 4 x 2 x π        

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r                      

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N                                              

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N
