A 13 m ladder's foot slides away from a wall at 2 m/s; θ is the angle at the ground. Ari finds dθ/dt, in radians per second, when the foot is 12 m out.
A 10 m ladder's foot slides away from a wall at 3 m/s; θ is the angle at the ground. Bo finds dθ/dt, in radians per second, when the foot is 8 m out.
A 5 m ladder's foot slides away from a wall at 1 m/s; θ is the angle at the ground. Esme finds dθ/dt, in radians per second, when the foot is 4 m out.
A 25 m ladder's foot slides away from a wall at 1 m/s; θ is the angle at the ground. Jun finds dθ/dt, in radians per second, when the foot is 24 m out.
A 1.5 m robot rolls away from a 6 m lamp post at 2 m/s. Kira finds how fast the robot's shadow gets longer. What is it, in m/s?
A 1 m robot rolls away from a 5 m lamp post at 3 m/s. Luz finds how fast the robot's shadow gets longer. What is it, in m/s?
A 2 m robot rolls away from a 8 m lamp post at 1.2 m/s. Milo finds how fast the robot's shadow gets longer. What is it, in m/s?
A 1 m robot rolls away from a 4 m lamp post at 1.5 m/s. Noah finds how fast the robot's shadow gets longer. What is it, in m/s?
A ball of clay grows, with V = (4/3)πr³. Ren differentiates both sides with respect to time t. Which is right?
- dV/dt = 4πr²
- V = 4πr² · dr/dt
- dV/dt = 4πr² · dr/dt
- dV/dt = (4/3)πr² · dr/dt
A 10 m ladder slides, with x² + y² = 100. Tala differentiates both sides with respect to time t. Which is right?
- 2x · dx/dt + 2y · dy/dt = 20 · dL/dt
- 2x · dx/dt + 2y · dy/dt = 0
- 2x + 2y = 0
- 2x · dx/dt + 2y · dy/dt = 100
