A man 2 m tall walks horizontally at a constant rate of 1 m/s toward the base of a tower 23 m tall. When the man is 10 m from th

e tower, at what rate is the angle of elevation changing if that angle is measured from the horizontal to the line joining the top of the man's head to the top of the tower? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.038\ rad/s

Explanation:

Given that

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= -1\ m/s

From the diagram

tan\theta=\dfrac{21}{x}

By differentiating with time t

sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}

When x= 10 m

tan\theta=\dfrac{21}{10}

θ = 64.53°

Now by putting the value in equation

sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}

sec^264.53^{\circ} \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{10^2}\times (-1)

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.038\ rad/s

Therefore rate of change in the angle is 0.038\ rad/s

If two swimmers compete in a race, does the faster swimmer develop more power?
valkas [14]
Power is equal to energy per unit time. In this case, power is proportional to energy while is inversely proportional to time,on the other hand. Given the two swimmers exerts same amount of energy but the faster swimmer just does things in faster time, then the faster swimmer should develop more power from shorter time

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density
Serjik [45]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine (\sf \eta)

Explanation:

\boxed{ \bold{v =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho -  \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho -  \sigma)g )}{v}

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2}  \times  (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times  \frac{145.6191}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times 64.7196

\sf \implies \eta =  2 \times 7.191

\sf \implies \eta =  14.382 \: poise

A motorcycle starts from rest and has a constant acceleration. In a time interval t, it undergoes a displacement x and attains a
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

√(6ax)

Explanation:

Hi!

The question states that during a time t the motorcyle underwent a displacement x at constant acceleration a starting from rest, mathematically we can express it as:

x=(1/2)at^2

Then the we need to find the time t' for which the displacement is 3x

3x=(1/2)a(t')^2

Solving for t':

t'=√(6x/a)

Now, the velocity of the motorcycle as a function of time is:

v(t)=a*t

Evaluating at t=t'

v(t')=a*√(6x/a)=√(6*x*a)

Which is the final velocity

Have a nice day!
