    The document contains solutions to 6 math calculus questions: 1) It calculates that the rate of increase of the distance from an observer to an airplane passing overhead is 384 km/h 30 seconds later. 2) It finds the rate of change of the distance from a kite to the person handling it is 1.2 m/s and the rate of change of the angle of the kite string is 0.16 rad/s. 3) It determines that the rate of increase of the distance between a boy cycling and a balloon rising at a constant speed is 16√5 m/5 sec when they are 3 seconds past the boy passing under the balloon.

    Answer on Question #64599 – Math – Calculus

    Question

    4. An airplane flying horizontally at an altitude of y = 3 km and at a speed of


    480 km/h passes directly above an observer on the ground. How fast is the
    distance D from the observer to the airplane increasing 30 seconds later?

    Solution

    D is the distance from the airplane to the observer and x is the (horizontal) distance
    traveled by the airplane from the moment it passed over the observer.
    We know that v = 𝑑𝑥/𝑑𝑡 = 480 𝑘𝑚/ℎ.
    We want to know 𝑑𝐷/𝑑𝑡 30 seconds after the plane flew over the observer.
    1 1
    𝑡 = 30 𝑠𝑒𝑐 = 30 ∙ ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 = ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
    3600 120
    Applying the Pythagorean Theorem to a right triangle
    𝐷 2 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 , 𝐷 2 = 𝑥 2 + 32
    Taking derivatives with respect to time t on both sides we get
    𝑑𝐷 𝑑𝑥
    2𝐷 = 2𝑥 ,
    𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
    so that
    𝑑𝐷 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
    = ∙
    𝑑𝑡 𝐷 𝑑𝑡
    We have that
    1 𝑑𝑥 𝑘𝑚 1
    𝑡 = 30 𝑠𝑒𝑐 = ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠, = v = 480 , 𝑥 = v𝑡 = 480 ∙ = 4 (𝑘𝑚),
    120 𝑑𝑡 ℎ 120
    𝐷2 = 42 + 32 = 25 (𝑘𝑚2 ), 𝐷 = 5 𝑘𝑚.
    Then
    𝑑𝐷 4 𝑘𝑚
    = ∙ 480 = 384 ( ).
    𝑑𝑡 5 ℎ
    𝑘𝑚
    Answer: 384 .

    Question

    5. A kite is rising vertically at a constant speed of 2 m/s from a location at


    ground level which is 8 m away from the person handling the string of the
    kite.
    (a) Let z be the distance from the kite to the person. Find the rate of change
    of z with respect to time t when z = 10.
    (b) Let x be the angle the string makes with the horizontal. Find the rate
    of change of x with respect to time t when the kite is y = 6 m above
    ground.

    Solution

    (a) Applying the Pythagorean theorem to a right triangle


    𝑧 2 = 82 + 𝑦 2
    We know that
    𝑑𝑦 𝑚
    v𝑦 = = 2 , 𝑦 = v𝑦 𝑡 .
    𝑑𝑡 𝑠
    Then
    𝑧 2 = 64 + (v𝑦 𝑡)2
    Taking derivatives with respect to time t on both sides we get
    𝑑𝑧
    2𝑧 = 2v𝑦2 𝑡.
    𝑑𝑡
    So that
    𝑑𝑧 1 2 𝑦
    = v𝑦 𝑡 = v𝑦 .
    𝑑𝑡 𝑧 𝑧
    We have that
    𝑧 = 10𝑚, 102 = 64 + 𝑦 2 , 𝑦 = 6 𝑚.
    Therefore
    𝑑𝑧 6 𝑚
    = ∙ 2 = 1.2 ( ) .
    𝑑𝑡 10 𝑠
    (b) Using the definition
    𝑦
    tan 𝑥 =
    8
    Taking derivatives with respect to time t on both sides we get
    1 𝑑𝑥 1 𝑑𝑦
    ∙ = ∙ .
    cos 2 𝑥 𝑑𝑡 8 𝑑𝑡
    So that
    𝑑𝑥 1
    = ∙ cos 2 𝑥 ∙ v𝑦 .
    𝑑𝑡 8
    We have that
    6 3 2
    3 2 25 1 2
    16
    𝑦 = 6 𝑚, tan 𝑥 = = , 1 + tan 𝑥 = 1 + ( ) = = , cos 𝑥 = .
    8 4 4 16 cos 2 𝑥 25
    Therefore
    𝑑𝑥 1 16 4 𝑟𝑎𝑑
    = ∙ ∙2= = 0.16 .
    𝑑𝑡 8 25 25 𝑠
    𝑚 𝑟𝑎𝑑
    Answer: (a) 1.2 ; (b) 0.16 .
    𝑠 𝑠

    Question

    6. A balloon is rising at a constant speed 4m/sec. A boy is cycling along a


    straight road at a speed of 8m/sec. When he passes under the balloon, it is
    36 metres above him. How fast is the distance between the boy and balloon
    increasing 3 seconds later?

    Solution

    D is the distance between the boy and balloon, x is the (horizontal) distance traveled
    by the boy from the moment it passed under the balloon and y is the altitude of the
    balloon.
    Applying the Pythagorean theorem to a right triangle
    𝐷2 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2
    We know that
    𝑑𝑥 𝑚 𝑑𝑦 𝑚
    v𝑥 = =8 , v𝑦 = =4 , 𝑥 = v𝑥 𝑡, 𝑦 = 𝑦0 + v𝑦 𝑡, 𝑦0 = 36 𝑚.
    𝑑𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝑑𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑐
    Then
    𝐷2 = (v𝑥 𝑡)2 + (𝑦0 + v𝑦 𝑡)2
    Taking derivatives (with respect to time, t) on both sides we get
    𝑑𝐷
    2𝐷 = 2v𝑥2 𝑡 + 2v𝑦 (𝑦0 + v𝑦 𝑡) ,
    𝑑𝑡
    so that
    𝑑𝐷 1
    = ∙ (v𝑥2 𝑡 + v𝑦 (𝑦0 + v𝑦 𝑡))
    𝑑𝑡 𝐷
    We have that
    𝑡 = 3 𝑠𝑒𝑐, 𝐷2 = (8 ∙ 3)2 + (36 + 4 ∙ 3)2 = 2880 (𝑚2 ), 𝐷 = 24√5 𝑚 .
    Therefore
    𝑑𝐷 1 16 16√5 𝑚
    = (82 ∙ 3 + 4(36 + 4 ∙ 3)) = = ( ).
    𝑑𝑡 24√5 √5 5 𝑠𝑒𝑐
    16√5 𝑚
    Answer: .
    5 𝑠𝑒𝑐
