Answer 64599
Question
Solution
D is the distance from the airplane to the observer and x is the (horizontal) distance
traveled by the airplane from the moment it passed over the observer.
We know that v = 𝑑𝑥/𝑑𝑡 = 480 𝑘𝑚/ℎ.
We want to know 𝑑𝐷/𝑑𝑡 30 seconds after the plane flew over the observer.
1 1
𝑡 = 30 𝑠𝑒𝑐 = 30 ∙ ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 = ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
3600 120
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem to a right triangle
𝐷 2 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 , 𝐷 2 = 𝑥 2 + 32
Taking derivatives with respect to time t on both sides we get
𝑑𝐷 𝑑𝑥
2𝐷 = 2𝑥 ,
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
so that
𝑑𝐷 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
= ∙
𝑑𝑡 𝐷 𝑑𝑡
We have that
1 𝑑𝑥 𝑘𝑚 1
𝑡 = 30 𝑠𝑒𝑐 = ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠, = v = 480 , 𝑥 = v𝑡 = 480 ∙ = 4 (𝑘𝑚),
120 𝑑𝑡 ℎ 120
𝐷2 = 42 + 32 = 25 (𝑘𝑚2 ), 𝐷 = 5 𝑘𝑚.
Then
𝑑𝐷 4 𝑘𝑚
= ∙ 480 = 384 ( ).

Question
Solution
D is the distance between the boy and balloon, x is the (horizontal) distance traveled
by the boy from the moment it passed under the balloon and y is the altitude of the
balloon.
Applying the Pythagorean theorem to a right triangle
𝐷2 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2
We know that
𝑑𝑥 𝑚 𝑑𝑦 𝑚
v𝑥 = =8 , v𝑦 = =4 , 𝑥 = v𝑥 𝑡, 𝑦 = 𝑦0 + v𝑦 𝑡, 𝑦0 = 36 𝑚.
𝑑𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝑑𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑐
Then
𝐷2 = (v𝑥 𝑡)2 + (𝑦0 + v𝑦 𝑡)2
Taking derivatives (with respect to time, t) on both sides we get
𝑑𝐷
2𝐷 = 2v𝑥2 𝑡 + 2v𝑦 (𝑦0 + v𝑦 𝑡) ,
𝑑𝑡
so that
𝑑𝐷 1
= ∙ (v𝑥2 𝑡 + v𝑦 (𝑦0 + v𝑦 𝑡))
𝑑𝑡 𝐷
We have that
𝑡 = 3 𝑠𝑒𝑐, 𝐷2 = (8 ∙ 3)2 + (36 + 4 ∙ 3)2 = 2880 (𝑚2 ), 𝐷 = 24√5 𝑚 .
Therefore
𝑑𝐷 1 16 16√5 𝑚
= (82 ∙ 3 + 4(36 + 4 ∙ 3)) = = ( ).
𝑑𝑡 24√5 √5 5 𝑠𝑒𝑐
16√5 𝑚
Answer: .
