Answer:

\frac{dAB}{dt} = = 50 miles/ hour

Explanation:

let A represent me and B represent my friend

A speed\frac{dOA}{dt}=30 m/hr toward west

B speed\frac{dOB}{dt} =40 m/hr toward south

after 1/2 hr

total distance cover by A =1/2 * 30 miles = 15 miles

total distance by B = 1/2*40 miles = 20 miles

now from figure

AB = \sqrt{(15^2+20^2)} = 25 miles

AB^2 =OA^2+ OB^2

Differentiate above equation

2AB\frac{dAB}{dt} = 2OA\frac{dOA}{dt} +2OB\frac{dOB}{dt}

25*\frac{dAB}{dt} = 15*30 +20*40

\frac{dAB}{dt} = \frac{1250}{25}

\frac{dAB}{dt} = = 50 miles/ hour

Answer:

The rate of the distance between he and she is 50 miles/hr.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed \dfrac{dx}{dt}= 30\ miles/hr

Speed \dfrac{dy}{dt}= 40\ miles/hr

After t hours,

He covered the distance x = 15 miles

She covered the distance y = 20 miles

We need to calculate the distance between he and she

Using Pythagorean theorem

z^2=x^2+y^2....(I)

Put the value into the formula

z^2=15^2+20^2

z=\sqrt{15^2+20^2}

z=25\ miles

We need to calculate the rate of the distance between he and she

From equation (I)

On differentiating of equation (I) w.r.to t

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}=x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}....(II)

Put the value in the equation

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{15}{25}\times30+\dfrac{20}{25}\times40

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=50\ miles/hr

Hence, The rate of the distance between he and she is 50 miles/hr.

Romeo traveled by a 900 kg horse from Manitua to Verona accelerating at the rate of 20 km/hr. With what force is Romeo moving at
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Force(Romeo moving) = 5,000 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of horse = 900 kg

Acceleration = 20 km/hr

Find:

Force(Romeo moving)

Computation:

Acceleration = 20 km/hr

Acceleration in m/s = 20 / 3.6 = 5.555556 m/s²

Force = m x a

Force(Romeo moving) = 900 x 5.555556

Force(Romeo moving) = 5,000 N
