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}

You pick up a 10-newton book off the floor and put it on a shelf 2 meters high. How much work did you do?​
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the book is, W=10\ N

Height or displacement of the book is, d=2\ m

The work done on the book to raise it to a height of 2 m on a shelf is against gravity. The gravitational force acting on the book is equal to its weight. Now, in order to raise it, an equal amount of force must be applied in the opposite direction.

So, the force applied by me should be equal to weight of the body and in the upward direction. The displacement is also in the upward direction.

Now, work done by the applied force is equal to the product of force applied and displacement of book in the direction of the applied force.

Therefore, work done is given as:

Work=W\times d\\Work=10\times 2=20\ J

Therefore, the work done to raise a book to a height 2 m from the floor is 20 J.
