Afirework is launched at the rate of 10 feet per second from a point on the ground 50 feet from an observer. to 2 decimal places in radians per second, find the rate of change of the angle of elevation when the firework is 40 feet above the ground. type your answer in the space below. if your answer is a number less than 1, place a leading "0" before the decimal point (ex: 0.35).

The rate of change of the angle of elevation when the firework is 40 feet above the ground is 0.12 radians/second.

First we will draw a right angle triangle ΔABC, where ∠B = 90°

Lets, assume the height(AB) = h and base(BC)= x

If the angle of elevation, ∠ACB = α, then

tan(α) =

Taking inverse trigonometric function, α = tan⁻¹ () .............(1)

As we need to find the rate of change of the angle of elevation, so we will differentiate both sides of equation (1) with respect to time (t) :

Here, the firework is launched from point B at the rate of 10 feet/second and when it is 40 feet above the ground it reaches point A,

that means h = 40 feet and = 10 feet/second.

C is the observer's position which is 50 feet away from the point B, so x = 50 feet.

= 0.12 (Rounding up to two decimal places)

So, the rate of change of the angle of elevation is 0.12 radians/second.

step-by-step explanation:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
