Suppose a migrating bird flies at a constant altitude of 5 km, with a velocity of 42 km/h. At time t = 0 the bird passes directly above a radar station, where t is measured in hours. (a) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing after 10 minutes? Round your final answer to 2 decimal places and provide units. (b) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing at time t = 0, i.e. when the bird is directly above the radar station? Is this reasonable? Explain briefly.
A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 46 ft/s. Its height in feet after t seconds is given by y = 46t – 21t2. A. Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=2 and lasting .01 s: .005 s: .002 s: .001 s: NOTE: For the above answers, you may have to enter 6 or 7 significant digits if you are using a calculator. Estimate the instanteneous velocity when t=2.

A mountain climber stands at the top of a 35.0 m cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. She throws two stones vertically downward 1.00 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone had an initial velocity of -1.20 m/s. (a) How long after release of the first stone did the two stones hit the water? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) 7.14 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. s (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have had, given that they hit the water simultaneously? -33.7 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. m/s (c) What was the velocity of each stone at the instant it hit the water? first stone -26.16 m/s -26.16 second stone Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m/s
