0.017s

Explanation:

Given parameter

Distance = 5000km = 5 x 10⁶m

Unknown:

time taken = ?

Solution:

We use the normal speed equation to solve this problem as we take the speed of the wave to be 3 x 10⁸m/s.

   Speed = \frac{Distance }{Time taken}

   Inputting the parameters:

             Time taken = \frac{distance }{velocity of the wave}

  Time taken = \frac{ 5 000000}{3 00000000} = 0.017s

A rotating light is located 13 feet from a wall. The light completes one rotation every 3 seconds. Find the rate at which the li
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

29.2 ft/s

Explanation:

The distance of the light's projection on the wall

y = 13 tan θ

where θ is the light's angle from perpendicular to the wall.

The light completes one rotation every 3 seconds, that is, 2π in 3 seconds,

Angular speed = w = (2π/3)

w = (θ/t)

θ = wt = (2πt/3)

(dθ/dt) = (2π/3)

y = 13 tan θ

(dy/dt) = 13 sec² θ (dθ/dt)

(dy/dt) = 13 sec² θ (2π/3)

(dy/dt) = (26π/3) sec² θ

when θ = 15°

(dy/dt) = (26π/3) sec² (15°)

(dy/dt) = 29.2 ft/s
