Alight on the ground is 30 feet away from a building. a 5 foot tall man is walking from the light to the building at a rate of 3 feet per second. he is casting a shadow on the side of the building. at what rate is his shadow shrinking when he is 10 feet from the building?

the shadow is shrinking at 4.5ft/s

Explanation:

Calculing the rate change is a problem that evolves derivates, so you have to find a function that represent the height of the shadow and then derivate that with respect to time.

So first we have to find the function that express the height of the shadow, to do that notice that both the green triangles have the same common blue angle that i pictured in the image, so if we express the tangent function for that angle we have:

and from here we can tell that:

now that we have our function we derivate with respect to time, doing that we have:

where

now we just have to replace 10 ft in x and that is the changing rate of the shadow height:

and that is it, the minus sign is because the shadow is shrinking instead of expanding.

explanation:

an enlarged virtual image is the answer

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
