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}.

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

size of insect = wavelength = 16.1 mm

Explanation:

Since the bat can detect the size of small insects which are of size equal to the wavelength of sound in air

So here we can say that the wavelength of sound is the ratio of speed of sound and its frequency

here we know that

speed of sound in air is 536 m/s

frequency of sound is 33.3 kHz

so here we can say

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

\lambda = \frac{536}{33.3 \times 10^3}

\lambda = 0.0161 m

\lambda = 16.1 mm
