2. A spy uses a telescope to track a rocket launched vertically from a launch pad 6 km away. The rocket travels upwards at a velocity of 21.6 km per minute. Find the rate of change of the distance between the spy and the rocket when the rocket is 8 km in the air. 17.28 km/mim 3. An observer stands 40 feet away from the Ferry Building’s clock tower. Kells Phelan ‘18 (an apprentice steeplejack) is climbing to the top of the flagpole on top of the Ferry Building to inspect it. He maintains a velocity of 2 ft/sec. (Assume the scenario can be modeled as a right triangle) How fast is the observer to Kells’ distance changing when he is 280 feet above the Embarcadero? 1.98 ft/s

The rate of change in distance between the spy and the rocket is 10.8 km/min,

or about 180 m/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

At "Time=0" the rocket is 6km from the spy.

The rocket travels vertically 8km in about 0.37 minutes, calculated by 8km÷21.6km/min.

At that point, the rocket is 10 km from the spy., calculated by 6²+8²=10²

The difference is 4 kiilometers over 0.37minutes, about 22.2 seconds

Divide Distance by Time to get Rate:

4km/0.37min = 10.8 km/min

That is about 180 meters per second.

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
