You are standing on the ground, watching a bird fly away horizontally at a rate of 9 meters per second. The bird is initially lo

cated 25 meters above your head. Let θ be the angle measured from the vertical direction to the direction from you to the bird. How fast (in radians per second) is θ changing when the horizontal distance between you and the bird is 12 meters

Answer:

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}= 0.293\ rad/s

Explanation:

horizontal distance traveled by the bird is equal to be x

given,

height of the bird above his head = 25 m

angle between them is equal to θ

\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 9 m/s

d² = x² + y²

\theta = tan^{-1}{\dfrac{x}{25}}

\dfrac{d\theta}{dx}= \dfrac{1}{1+(\dfrac{x}{25})^2}\times(\dfrac{1}{25})

\dfrac{d\theta}{dx}= \dfrac{25}{x^2+625}

now,

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}= \dfrac{d\theta}{dx}\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}= \dfrac{25}{x^2+625}\times 9

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}= \dfrac{225}{x^2+625}

at x = 12 m

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}= \dfrac{225}{12^2+625}

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}= 0.293\ rad/s

How are the spiral arms of the milky way detected?
Step2247 [10]
The spiral structure emerges when galactic clusters (open), H II regions and O & B type stars (young stars) are used as tracers. We know this to be true as other pinwheel galaxies exhibit the same patterns across these tracers as in the milky way.

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 525 nm appears as green light to the human eye. Calculate the frequency of this l
12345 [234]

Answer:

5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf................. Equation 1

Where v = speed of the electromagnetic radiation, λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, f = frequency

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: λ = 525 nm = 5.25×10⁻⁷ m,

Constant: Speed of electromagnetic wave (v) = 3.0×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = (3.0×10⁸)/(5.25×10⁻⁷)

f = 5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

Hence the frequency of light is 5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

At which temperature will water boil when the external pressure is 17.5 torr
ch4aika [34]
<span>The temperature of water will boil at one hundred degrees celsius when the external pressure is at 17.5 torr. Essentially, it is based off of the vaporizing of heat, as well as the gas constant. This is a matter of solving a physics equation and breaking down the factors that will affect the boiling point.</span>
