A 7 ft tall person is walking away from a 20 ft tall lamppost at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Assume the scenario can be modeled with rig
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the shadow length of a person is 2.692 ft/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Height of a person, H = 20 ft

Height of a person, h = 7 ft

Rate = 5 ft/s

Now,

From Fig.1:

b = person's distance from the lamp post

a = shadow length

Also, from the similarity of the triangles, we can write:

\frac{a + b}{20} = \frac{a}{7}

a = \frac{7}{13}b

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t t:

\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\frac{db}{dt}

Now, we know that:

Rate = \frac{db}{dt} = 5\ ft/s

Thus

\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\times 5 = 2.692\ ft/s

The flow of electricity can be compared of water in
Anna007 [38]

The flow of electricity can be compared of water in the pipes because both water and electricity moves in the channel.

<h3>How we compare the flow of electricity to water?</h3>

Water flowing in pipes is like flowing of electricity in a circuit. A battery is like a pump from where electricity comes and moves in the circuit. Electrons flowing through wires are like water molecules flowing through pipes. So in comparison between water and electricity, both water and electricity are similar to each other in flowing and movement.

So we can conclude that the flow of electricity can be compared of water in the pipes because both water and electricity moves in the channel.
