A hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 3 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the

angle between the observer's line-of-sight and the horizontal is π3π3 , and it is changing at a rate of 0.1 rad/min. How fast is the balloon rising at this moment?

Answer:

\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}

Explanation:

We know that the tangent function relates the angle of the right triangle that forms the hot air balloon rising:

tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}\\y=xtan\theta(1)

Differentiating (1) with respect to time, we get:

\frac{dy}{dt}=tan\theta\frac{dx}{dt}+xsec^{2}\theta\frac{d\theta}{dt}\\

\frac{dx}{dt}=0 since x is a constant value. Replacing:

\frac{dy}{dt}=3mi(sec^{2}\frac{\pi}{3})0.1\frac{rad}{min}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}

) The radius of sphere measured repeated values 5.63 m, 5.54 m and 5.53 m. Determine the most
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

v_{ average} = 5.57

Explanation:

The most probable value of a measure is

       v_average = \frac{1}{N} ∑ x_i

where N is the number of measurements

in tes case N = 3

         v_{average} = ⅓ (5.63 +5.54 + 5.53)

         V_{average} = 5,567

The number of significant figures must be equal to the number of figures that have the least in the readings.

          v_{ average} = 5.57

#2 A car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s^2. What is the velocity of the car after 4 second?
solmaris [256]
You use the equation Velocity = Acceleration X Time. 4x4=16m/s.


The car travels 18m in 3 seconds.
