a helicopter flies parallel to the ground at an altitude of 1/2 kilometer and at a speed of 2 kilometers per minute. if the heli

copter passes directly over the white house, at what rate is the distance between the helicopter and the white house changing 1 minute after the helicopter flies over the white house?

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

A typical neutron star has a mass of about 1. 5msun and a radius of 10 kilometers
Triss [41]

How thick a layer would Earth form as it wraps around the neutron star’s surface is: 6.67 10⁻³ m.

<h3>Density of the Neutron star</h3>

Density

ρ = m / V

Where:

ρ= density

m = mass of the planet 5.98 10²⁴ km

V =volume of the spherical layer

Volume of a sphere

Volume = 4/3 π r³

Mass = 1.5 = 1.5 1,991 10³⁰

Mass= 2.99 10³⁰ kg

Density:

ρ = 2.99 10³⁰ / [4/3 π (10 10³)³]

ρ is = 7.13 10 17 kg / m³

V = 5.98 10²⁴ / 7.13 10¹⁷

V = 8,387 10⁶ m³

Thickness of the layer

V = 4π r² e

e = V / 4π r

e = 8,387 10⁶ / [4π (10 10³)²]

e = 6.67 10⁻³ m

Inconclusion how thick a layer would Earth form as it wraps around the neutron star’s surface is: 6.67 10⁻³ m.
