A crate which is able to move casts a shadow on a nearby wall due to a light source at S. The crate has a height H and rolls toward the wall with a constant speed v, starting from the light S at time t = 0. The light S is a fixed distance d from the wall. Determine the speed at which the top of the crate's shadow moves down the wall as a function of time, vs(t).

Can you help me, i need a shortcut on how to know when should i use cosine or sine.here's the problem and the solution One morning, Connie walks from her house to go to a store that is 500 ft, S 40o W from her house. She starts walking 120 ft, SW; then continues walking 100 ft, 10o S of E; then sees a friend who is 700 ft, 30o N of E from where she is. What is her friend’s location, (magnitude and direction) relative to her house? (Ans. 667.54 ft, 21.79o N of E) From her friend’s location, how far and in what direction should Connie walk to finally get to the store? (Ans. 1133.08 ft, 33.83o S of W)
Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H 1.68 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 10.9 s, what is the radius r of Earth? %3D

14141414 As part of a department store display, a model train D runs on a slight incline between the store's up and down escalators. When the train and shoppers pass point A, the train appears to the shopper on the up escalator B to move downward at an angle of 22° with the horizontal, and to a shopper on the down escalator C to move upward at an angle of 23° with the horizontal to travel to the left. Knowing that the speed of the escalators is 3 ft/s, determine the direction (in degrees) of the train. Indicate if it is "up to the right", "up to the left", "down to the right", or "down to the left", along with the angle of inclination from the horizontal. 30° D 30°
9. Check My Understanding 3 Enter the correct answer in the space provided. Samiyah enters the front door of an office building. She walks 20 meters straight ahead to reach the elevator and goes to the fifth floor, which is 22 meters above the first floor. On the fifth floor, she turns to the left and walks 15 meters down the hall before turning around and walking 35 meters in the opposite direction to reach her destination. The entrance to the building has the (x, y, z) coordinates (0, 0, 0). Forward is in the positive x-direction, upward is in the positive z-direction, and left is in the,positive y-direction. The coordinates of Samiyah's destination are ( F2
