Answer:
(a) 1.414 km
(b) 1.06 m/s
Explanation:
(a) For John:
Distance = 1 km north and then 1 km east
Speed = 1.5 m/s
total distance traveled = 1 + 1 = 2 km = 2000 m
Time taken to travel = Distance / speed
t = 2000 / 1.5 = 1333.3 seconds
Displacement =
(b) For jane :
Time is same as john = 1333.33 second
Distance = 1.414 km = 1414 m
Speed = distance / time = 1414 / 1333.33 = 1.06 m/s
Answer:
The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is 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
Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time
Substituting the values of h(t) and x(t) and simplifying we get,
=
=
ft / sec
