At noon, ship A is 10 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 16 knots and ship B is sailing north at 21 knots. How fast (in knots) is the distance between the ships changing at 4 PM? (Note: 1 knot is a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour.)?
The area of a healing wound is given by A=πr2A=πr2. The radius is decreasing at the rate of 4 millimeters per day at the moment when r=30r=30. How fast is the area decreasing at that moment?
Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 40
cubic feet per minute. It forms a pile in the shape of a right
circular cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How
fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 11 feet
high?
Recall that the volume of a right circular cone with height h and
radius of the base r is given by
V=13πr2hV=13πr2h
A spherical snowball is melting in such a way that its radius is
decreasing at rate of 0.1 cm/min. At what rate is the volume of the
snowball decreasing when the radius is 16 cm. (Note the answer is a
positive number).
