Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de

tects that the distance s(t) between the plane and airport is changing at the rate of s(t) = −240 mph. If the plane flies toward the airport at the constant altitude h = 4, what is the speed |x(t)| of the airplane?

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)

x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}

When x = 40, s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}

x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14  m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.35s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with
ad-work [718]

Answer:

y₀ = 10.625 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the kinematic relations, where the upward direction is positive.

         y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

in the exercise they indicate the initial velocity v₀ = 8 m / s.

when the rock reaches the ground its height is zero

         0 = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

        y₀i = -v₀ t + ½ g t²

let's calculate

         y₀ = - 8  2.5 + ½  9.8  2.5²

         y₀ = 10.625 m

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.

f a single circular loop of wire carries a current of 45 A and produces a magnetic field at its center with a magnitude of 1.50
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Radius of the loop is 0.18 m or 18 cm

Explanation:

Given :

Current flowing through the wire, I = 45 A

Magnetic field at the center of the wire, B = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ T

Number of turns in circular wire, N = 1

Consider R be the radius of the circular wire.

The magnetic field at the center of the current carrying circular wire is determine by the relation:

B=\frac{N\mu_{0} I}{2R}

Here μ₀ is vacuum permeability constant and its value is 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A.

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

1.50\times10^{-4} =\frac{4\pi \times10^{-7}\times45 }{2R}

R = 0.18 m
