A lonely guy throws a stone into a still pond causing a circular ripple to spread. If the radius
of the circular ripple spreads at the rate 1.5 ft/sec, how fast is the enclosed area increasing at the end of 2 seconds?
A small balloon is released at a point 150 ft away from an observer who is on level ground.
If the balloon goes straight up at the rate of 8 ft/sec, how fast is the distance from the observer to the balloon increasing when the balloon is 50 ft high?
A toy rocket rises vertically in such a way that t seconds after its liftoff, it is
s(t) 16t 200t
2
= − +
feet above the ground.
(a) How high is the rocket after 6 seconds?
(b) What is the average velocity of the rocket over the first 6 seconds of flight (between t=0 and t=6)?
(c) What is the instantaneous velocity of the rocket at t=2 sec?
Suppose a person standing at the top of a building 112 ft high throws a ball vertically upward
with an initial velocity of 96 ft/sec.
(a) Find the velocity of the ball at time
In an opera house, the base of a chandelier is 160 ft above the floor. Suppose the Phantom of
the Opera dislocates the chandelier and causes it to fall from rest and crash on the floor.
a. What is the equation of motion of the chandelier?
b. Find the instantaneous velocity of the chandelier at 1 sec and 1.5 sec.
c. Find how long it takes the chandelier to hit the floor.
d. What is the speed of the chandelier when it hits the floor?
Jun throws a stone straight upward alongside a tree with an initial velocity of 32 ft/sec.
The stone rises until it is even with the top of the tree and then falls back to the ground. How tall is the
tree?
A car is travelling at 100 ft/sec when the driver suddenly applies the brakes. The position
function of the skidding car is
A construction company has adjoined a 5000 ft^2 rectangular enclosure to its office building. Three sides of the enclosure are fenced in. The side of the building adjacent to the enclosure is 500 ft long and a portion of this side is used as the fourth side of the enclosure. Let x and y be the dimensions of the enclosure, where x is measured parallel to the building, and let L be the length of fencing required for those dimensions.

(a) Find a formula for L in terms of x and y.
L(x,y)=
b) Find a formula that expresses L as a function of x alone.
L(x)=
(c) What is the domain of the function in part (b)? Express as an interval.

Domain =
f(x)=sin^2(x/3)
defined on the interval [−8.72,1.76].
a.) f(x) is concave down on the region(s)
b.) A global minimum for this function occurs at
c.) A local maximum for this function which is not a global maximum occurs at
d.) The function is increasing on the region(s)

The position of an object moving along a straight line is given by x = 3 − 2t

2 + 4t

3 where x is

in meters and t in seconds.

a) Derive the expressions for the velocity and acceleration of the object as a function of time.

b) Find the position of the object at t = 0, t = 2s, t = 4s.

c) Find the displacement or the object between t = 2s and t = 4s; between t = 0s and t = 4s.

d) Find the average velocity between t = 2s and t = 4s; between t = 0s and t = 4s;

between t = 1s and t = 3s.

e) What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 2s? at t = 5s?

f) At what time(s) is/are the instantaneous velocities zero?

g) When does the instantaneous velocity have a maximum or a minimum value?

h) Find the change in velocity between t = 2s and t = 5s.

i) Find the average acceleration between t = 2s and t = 5s; between t = 1s and t = 3s.

j) Find the instantaneous acceleration of the object at t = 2s; t = 5s.
