An observer stands 150 meters from a fireworks display rocket, which is fired directly upward. When the rocket reaches a height

of 200 meters, it is traveling at a speed of 12 meters/second. At what rate is the angle of elevation formed with the observer increasing at that instant

Answer:

-0.288\ \text{rad/s}

Explanation:

x = Distance of observer from the initial location of the rocket = 150 m

y = Vertical displacement of the rocket from the ground = 200 m

r = Distance between observer and rocket

\dfrac{dy}{dt} = Rate of change in height of rocket = 12 m/s

\dfrac{dx}{dt} = Rate of change in x = 0

Distance between observer and rocket at y = 200 m

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{150^2+200^2}\\\Rightarrow r=250\ \text{m}

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}

Differentiating with respect to time

\sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{y\dfrac{dx}{dt}-x\dfrac{dy}{dt}}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{\dfrac{y\dfrac{dx}{dt}-x\dfrac{dy}{dt}}{x^2}}{\sec^2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{\dfrac{0-150\times 12}{150^2}}{(\dfrac{250}{150})^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-0.288\ \text{rad/s}

The rate of change of the angle of elevation is -0.288\ \text{rad/s}.

Which of the below statements are true?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the start point to the endpoint, displacement disregard the path taken or the amount traveled.

if you start at point A, then go to point B, and back to point A, the displacement is zero because you started and ended at the same point.

for this question, pretend you started at point A, went east 20 km to point B, and then west 8 km to point C, your displacement is 12 km. 12 km is the distance between point A and point C.

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass
mixas84 [53]

Answer:3.874 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s

34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s

we know acceleration is given by =\frac{velocity}{Time}

a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}

a=-3.874 m/s^2

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

v^2-u^2=2as

\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s

s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}

s=63.038 m
