Transcribed Image Text:A weather balloon is rising vertically at 40
meters per second. An observer is standing
on the ground 24 meters from the point at
which the balloon was released. Determine
(in meters per second) the rate at which the
distance between the observer and the balloon
is changing when the balloon is 32 meters high
(and hence 40 meters from the observer).
1. rate = 34 meters/sec
2. rate = 33 meters/sec
3. rate= 36 meters/sec
4. rate = 35 meters/sec
5. rate = 32 meters/sec
