(i) 7.2 feet per minute.
(ii) No, the rate would be different.
(iii) The rate would be always positive.

Explanation:
Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,
By making the diagram of this situation,
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),
( l = 26 feet = constant )
We have,
(i) From equation (1),
From equation (X),
(ii) From equation (X),
Thus, for different value of x the value of would be different.
(iii) Since, distance = Positive number,
So, the value of y will always a positive number.
Thus, from equation (X),
The rate would always be a positive.
(iv) The length of the ladder is constant, so, the resultant change would be constant.
i.e. x = increases ⇒ y = decreases
y = decreases ⇒ y = increases
(v) if ladder hit the ground x = 0,
So, from equation (X),
Answer:
They are the same
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:
Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:
Gamma rays
X-rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared
Microwaves
Radio waves
We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.
