<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 8.55 Joules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Work done is the product of force and the distance moved by an object.

Work done = Force × distance

Force = 95 Newtons

Distance = X2 -X1

= 4 - (-5)

= 9 cm

Thus;

work done = 95 × 9/100

<u>= 8.55 Joules </u>

A street light is at the top of a 19 foot tall pole. A woman 5.25 feet tall walks towards the pole with a speed of 7ft/sec along

Answer:

The tip of her shadow is moving at the speed of 9.66 ft/sec

Explanation:

The height of the street light = 19 feet

The height of the woman = 5.25 feet

Distance between the woman and the base of the pole, x = 35 ft

The speed of the woman towards the pole, dx/dt = 7ft/sec

The distance from the base of the streetlight to the tip of the woman's shadow = y

The distance from the woman to the tip of her shadow = y - x

The diagram illustrating this description is shown below

Using similar triangle:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{19}{5.25}=\text{ }\frac{y}{y-x} \\ 19(y-x)\text{ = 5.25y} \\ 19y-19x\text{ = 5.25y} \\ 19y-5.25y\text{ = 19x} \\ 13.75y\text{ = 19x} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{19}{13.75}x \\ y\text{ = }1.38x \end{gathered}$

Find the derivative of both sides with respect to time, t

$\begin{gathered} \frac{dy}{dt}=\text{ 1.38}\frac{dx}{dt} \\ \frac{dy}{dt}=\text{ 1.38(7)} \\ \frac{dy}{dt}\text{ = }9.66\text{ ft/sec} \end{gathered}$

The tip of her shadow is moving at the speed of 9.66 ft/sec
