Understanding Physical Science 14.5: A. A 10-foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is sliding along the pavement directly away from the building at 2 feet/second, how fast is the top of the ladder moving down when the foot of the ladder is 2 feet from the wall? The top of the ladder is moving down at a rate of ___ feet/second when the foot of the ladder is 2 feet from the wall....
Car A, traveling south at 30 feet per second, is 400 feet due north of an intersection. Car B, traveling west at 40 feet per second, is 300 feet due east of the same intersection. At this point in time how fast, in feet per second, is the distance between Car A and Car B changing? a) 42 b)44 c)46 d)48

The function d(v), measured in feet, is twice differentiable with d'(v)>0 and d"(v)>0. 1) Find the average rate of change of the stopping distance of the car between 50 and 60 mph. Specify...
PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A person measures the height of a building by walking out a distance of 49.1 m from its base and shining a flashlight beam toward the top. When the beam is elevated at an angle of 40.5° with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure, the beam just strikes the top of the building. Find the height of the building and the distance the flashlight...
A 26 foot ladder is sliding down a vertical wall. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. At what rate is the ladder sliding down the wall when the base of the ladder is 10 feet from the wall? Would you expect the same rate when the ladder is any distance from the wall? Would you expect your answer to be negative when the base is any distance...
