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}.

andriy [413]
<h2>Answer: White light becomes a range of colors after passing through a prism.</h2>

Explanation:

White light is composed by a range of colors, this was discovered by Isaac Newton when he observed that a beam of white light was refracted (the different rays of light are diverted depending on their wavelengths) when passing through a prism .

This phenomenom was later called dispersion.

This multiple-concept example provides a review of the concepts that play roles here. An engine has an efficiency of 63% and pro
frozen [14]

Answer:

8387 J

Explanation:

work produced= 5284 J

efficiency of 63%

the efficiency η= Work done÷ heat supplied

\eta= \frac{W}{Q_s}

0.63= \frac{5284}{Q_s}

solving Q_s= 8397 J

therefore,  the input heat=  8387 J

A motorcycle is traveling along a highway at 26 m/s. How far does the motorcycle travel in 15 s?​
leva [86]
26 m/s for fifteen seconds. distance = rate times time, so distance = 26 m/s * 15 seconds. this gives you distance = 390 meters.
