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
Answer:
speed of current is 5 mile/hr
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA:
speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water
let c is speed of current
15-c is speed of boat at upstream
15+c is speed of boat at downstream
we know that
travel time=distance/speed
150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)
300=1.5(225-c^2)
300=337.5-1.5c^2
200=225-c^2
c^2=25
c = 5
so speed of current is 5 mile/hr
