The Pythagoras' theorem and the uniform motion allows to find the answer for the rate of change of distance is

               v = 32.3 m / s

The distance is the length of the segment that a white house wing with the helicopter, this can be found using the Pythagoras' theorem

               R = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

Where R is the distance, x is the horizontal distance where the helicopter flies and y is the vertical distance that corresponds to the flight height

y = 500 m

Since the helicopter flies at constant speed, we can use the uniform motion relation

              v_h = \frac{x}{t}

              x = v_ht

Where v_h is the speed of the helicopter and t is the time

We substitute  

                r = \sqrt {(V_h \ t)^2 + y^2}

Kinematics defines velocity as the change of position in the unit of time

            v = \frac{dR}{dt}

           v = \frac{1}{2} \  \frac{2 ( v_h t) v_h}{ \sqrt{(v_h t)^2 + y^2} }

           v = \frac{v_h^2 \ t}{ \sqrt{(v_h t)^2 + y^2} }

This expression is the change in distance as a function of time for a given speed. In the exercise, this speed is requested for a time of one minute, for the helicopter speed of

        v = 2km/min (\frac{1000m}{1km} ) ( \frac{1 min}{60s}) = 33.33 m / s

Let's calculate

            v = \frac{33.33^2 \ 60 }{ \sqrt{ )33.3 \ 60)^2 +500^2} }

         

            v = 32.3 m / s

In conclusion using the Pythagoras' theorem and the uniform motion we can find the answer for the rate of change in distance is

               v = 32.3 m / s

Calculate the pH of this solution. Round to the nearest hundredth. POH = 3. 45 pH =.
igor_vitrenko [27]

ph--10.55 because

pH + pOH = 14 ;

Given:  pOH = 3.45 ;  Solve for pH ;

pH + 3.45 = 14 ;

Subtract "3.45" from each side of the equation:

pH + 3.45 - 3.45 = 14 - 3.45 ;

pH = 10.55
