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

A car of mass 900 Kg is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s. It is brought to rest at 25 m distance by applying the brakes. Calcula
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Assumption: the acceleration of this vehicle is constant until it comes to a stop.

Acceleration: (-2)\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}.

The acceleration of this vehicle is negative because the velocity of this vehicle is decreasing over time.

Explanation:

  • Let u denote the initial velocity of this vehicle. u = 10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.
  • Let v denote the final velocity of this vehicle. v = 0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1} as the vehicle has come to a stop.
  • Let x denote the displacement of this vehicle. x = 25\; \rm m.
  • Let a denote the acceleration of this vehicle. The value of a\! needs to be found.

Assume that the acceleration of this vehicle, a, is constant. The SUVAT equations would apply.

The time t required for braking is neither given nor required. Hence, make use of the SUVAT equation v^{2} - u^{2} = 2\, a\, x to relate u, v, a, and x\!.

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for a, the acceleration of this vehicle:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\, x} \\ &= \frac{(0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} - (10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1})^{2}}{2\times (25\; \rm m)} \\ &= \frac{0^{2} - 10^{2}}{2 \times 25}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \\ &= -2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

  • When the rate of change of a value is greater than 0, that value would become larger over time.
  • When the rate of change of a value is equal to 0, that value would be constant.
  • When the rate of change of a value is smaller than 0, that value would become smaller over time.

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time.

The velocity of the vehicle in this question is getting smaller over time. Hence, the rate of change of the velocity of this vehicle (that is, the acceleration of this vehicle) would be a negative number.

The thrust of a certain boat’s engine generates a power of 10kW as the boat moves at constant speed 10ms through the water of a
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The change in power is 4400 W.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 10 kW

Speed = 10 m/s

Increases speed = 12 m/s

Given equation is,

F=kv

We know that,

The power is,

P=Fv

Put the value of F into the formula

P=(kv)v

P=kv^2

P\propto v^2

We need to calculate the new power

Using formula for power

\dfrac{P}{P'}=\dfrac{v^2}{v'^2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{10}{P'}=(\dfrac{10}{12})^2

P'=(\dfrac{12}{10})^2\times10

P'=14.4\ kW

We need to calculate the change in power

Using formula of change in power

\Delta P=P'-P

Put the value into the formula

\Delta P=14.4-10

\Delta P=4.4\ kW

\Delta P=4.4\times1000

\Delta P=4400\ W

Hence, The change in power is 4400 W.
