1. A man walks along a straight path at a speed of π ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 18 ft from the path and is kept focused on the man. At what rate is the searchlight rotating when the man is 30 ft from the searchlight? Draw a picture first to understand the problem.
2. Suppose square ABCD has straight edges of length 2, and its corners are connected by hinges. When pulling corners A and C, the square slowly deforms into a rhombus. Given that the area A of a rhombus can be expressed as A = 2a2 sinθ, where θ is one of the angles of the rhombus, and a is the side length, find the rate of change of the area when one of the angles of the rhombus is π/3 rad, and it is also decreasing at a rate of π/12 rad/s.

straight line from point circled A to point circled B and then back
along the line from circled B to circled A at a constant speed of
2.90 m/s. Find the average Velocity for the time interval of 1.80s
to 2.80s and also the average velocity for the time interval of
1.85s to 2.25s.

A 6.00-ft-tall man walks at 7.00 ft/s toward a street light
that is 15.0 ft above the ground. At what rate is the end of the
man's shadow moving when he is 10.0 ft from the base of the light?

An arrow is shot straight up in the air with an initial speed of
240 ft/s. If on striking the ground it embeds itself 8.00 in into
the ground, find the magnitude of the acceleration (assumed
constant) required to stop the arrow, in units of
feet/second^2.
