We are given a watermelon dropped at free fall from a building 320 meters above the sidewalk. Superman is headed down at 30 meters per second. We are asked to determine how fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman. To solve for the final velocity of the watermelon, we will use one of the kinematic equations (free fall):

vf = vi + a*t

where vf is the final velocity
            vi is the initial velocity, zero
            a is the acceleration, in this case, gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
            t is time

we also need to set-up another equation using the distance:

d = vf + vi / 2 * t

(1) 320 m = vf * t /2

(2) vf = 9.8 m/s^2 * t

From here, we have two equations and two unknown, thus we can solve the problem by substitution.

An ice cube is melting, and the lengths of its sides are decreasing at a rate of 0.8 millimeters per minute At what rate is the
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The rate of decrease is: 43.2mm^3/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

l = 18mm

\frac{dl}{dt} = -0.8mm/min ---- We used minus because the rate is decreasing

Required

Rate of decrease when: l = 18mm

The volume of the cube is:

V = l^3

Differentiate

\frac{dV}{dl} = 3l^2

Make dV the subject

dV = 3l^2 \cdot dl

Divide both sides by dt

\frac{dV}{dt} = 3l^2 \cdot \frac{dl}{dt}

Given that: l = 18mm and \frac{dl}{dt} = -0.8mm/min

\frac{dV}{dt} = 3 * (18mm)^2 * (-0.8mm/min)

\frac{dV}{dt} = 3 * 18 *-0.8mm^3/min

\frac{dV}{dt} = -43.2mm^3/min

<em>Hence, the rate of decrease is: 43.2mm^3/min</em>
