Why?
A spaceship is traveling at the speed km/s ( is time in seconds). It is pointing directly away from earth and at time it is 1000
kilometers from earth. How far from earth is it at one minute from time ?
Sid is in a car traveling at speed miles per hour away from Las Vegas, where is in hours. At , Sid is 10 miles away from Vegas.
How far from Vegas is Sid 2 hours later?
A dropped ball accelerates downwards at a constant rate meters per second squared. Set up the differential equation for the
height above ground in meters. Then supposing meters, how long does it take for the ball to hit the ground. (Enter the exact
value, not a decimal approximation)
The rate of change of the volume of a snowball that is melting is proportional to the surface area of the snowball. Suppose the
snowball is perfectly spherical. The volume (in centimeters cubed) of a ball of radius centimeters is . The surface area is . Set up
the differential equation for how the radius is changing. (Use for an unknown constant)
