An osprey flying horizontally 100 feet above a lake spots a fish below. It tilts its flight path downward by 45°. If the osprey
is diving at 45 mph, at what rate is its altitude changing (rounded to the nearest foot per second)?
1 answer:
Answer: the rate at which its altitude is changing is -47 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
ds/dt = 45 mph = 45 × 5280/3600 = 66 ft/sec
no we have to determine dx/dt
so
cos∅ = dx/dt / ds/dt
cos45° = dx/dt / 66
dx/dt = 0.7071 × 66
dx/dt = 46.6686 ≈ 47 ft/s ( as altitude is decreasing, its negative - )
so the rate at which its altitude is changing is -47 ft/s
