A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

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,

$l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)$

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

$0=2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$ ( l = 26 feet = constant )

$\implies 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = -2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\implies \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{x}{y}\frac{dx}{dt}$

We have,

$y = 10, \frac{dx}{dt}= -3\text{ feet per min}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3x}{10}-----(X)$

(i) From equation (1),

$26^2 = x^2 + 10^2$

$676=x^2 + 100$

$576 = x^2$

$\implies x = 24\text{ feet}$

From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3\times 24}{10}=7.2\text{ feet per min}$

(ii) From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}\propto x$

Thus, for different value of x the value of $\frac{dy}{dt}$ 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),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=0\text{ feet per min}$

If our planet was twice as far away how would the Earth’s orbit change?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

One of the indirect proofs that orbits change is actually in the growth of our own teeth when we were children. our teeth are some of the most basic, and primitive

parts of our bodies. They grow on a 9 day cycle, which was an ancient full moon to full moon cycle when the Earth and the Moon were a lot smaller, and closer together, and the co-orbital period was only 9 days, not the 29.5 days that it is currently.

So Given any two " Planets " that co-orbit a common gravitational center, the larger planet will grow larger far faster than the smaller planet, and the larger planet will accelerate the smaller planet to a higher orbit with a longer period, and decelerate itself to a lower orbit with a longer period, and the absolute value of the center to center distance will increase, and the orbital period will increase. The two orbs and their common gravitational center will remain co-linear through out the gradual growing and changing process.

This is an important process for the enlargement of the solar system as time passes, and an important process for larger galaxies as they attract and merge with smaller galaxies.

All of the planets grow larger at an accelerating rate, and thus systems spiral outward concentrating mass into larger and fewer galaxies, solar systems, and planet - moon systems.
