A helicopter starting on the ground is rising directly into the air at a rate of 25 ft/s. You are running on the ground starting

directly under the helicopter at a rate of 10 ft/s. Find the rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s.

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is \sqrt{725} ft/ sec

Explanation:

Given:

h(t) =  25 ft/sec

x(t) = 10 ft/ sec

h(5) = 25 ft/sec . 5 = 125 ft

x(5) = 10 ft/sec . 5 = 50 ft

Now we can calculate the distance between the person and the helicopter by using the Pythagorean theorem

D(t) = \sqrt{h^2 + x^2}

Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time

\frac{dD}{dt} (t)  = \frac{2h \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} +2x \cdot\frac{dx}{dt}} {2\sqrt{h^2 + x^2}}

Substituting the values of h(t) and  x(t) and simplifying we get,

\frac{dD}{dt}(t) = \frac{50t \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} + 20 \cdot \frac{dx}dt}{2\sqrt{625\cdot t^2 + 100 \cdot t^2}}

\frac{dh}{dt} = 25ft/sec

\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/sec

\frac{Dd}{dt} (t) = \frac{1250t +200t}{2\sqrt{725}t}  = \frac{725}{\sqrt{725}}  = \sqrt{725} ft / sec

In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what part of what other part
koban [17]

Protons

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the atom.

  •  Electrons are the negatively charge particles in an atom
  • Protons carry positive charge.
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

Protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus of an atom they determine the mass number of the atom.

In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons must be the same.

A charge atom called an ion is one that has lost or gained electrons.
