Answer:

The actual speed of the rain is 5 m/s and its direction is -53.13°

Explanation:

The actual speed of the rain V = speed of man, v + speed of rain relative to man, v'.

V = v + v'

We add these vectorially.

Since the man's speed is 3 m/s east, in the positive x - direction, we have v = 3i  and the rain's speed is falling vertically at 4 m/s, in the negative y- direction, we have v' = -4j

So, V = v + v'

V = 3i + (-4j)

V = 3i - 4j

So, the magnitude of V which is its speed is V = √(3² + (-4)²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 m/s

The direction of V, Ф = tan⁻¹(vertical component/horizontal component) = tan⁻¹(-4/3) = tan⁻¹(-4/3) = tan⁻¹(-1.333) = -53.13°

So, the actual speed of the rain is 5 m/s and its direction is -53.13°

The coordinates of a bird flying in the xy plane are given by x(t)=αt and y(t)=3.0m−βt2, where α=2.4m/s and β=1.2m/s2. Calculate
yuradex [85]
     The derivative of the function space as a function of time is equal to a function of speed as a function of time.

x(t)=2.4t \\  \frac{x(t)}{t}=t \\ v_{x}(t)=t \\  \\ y(t)=3-1.2\times t^2 \\  \frac{y(t)}{t}=1.2\times2t \\ v_{y}(t)=2.4t
   
     The velocity vector is given by the vector sum of the velocities of  both axes.

v_{R}^2(t)=v_{x}^2(t)+v_{y}^2(t) \\ v_{R}^2(t)=(t)^2+(2.4t)^2 \\ \boxed {v_R(t)=2.6t}

When you take pictures with a camera, the distance between the lens and the film or chip has to be adjusted, depending on the di
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a camera shifts focus from a faraway object to a nearby object, the lens-to-film distance must increase. Likewise, when it shifts focus from a nearby object to a distant object, there must be an increase in the lens to film distance (that is, the image distance).

Therefore, if the picture of an object that is far away, the lens must move towards the film.

The focal length cannot be changed because it is fixed for a lens. Nevertheless, in order to focus on an object, the image distance can be changed.
