A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mi and a speed of 490 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) mi/h

438.3 mph

Explanation:

Let z be the distance from the plane to the station. You should draw a right triangle

for the diagram with z on the hypotenuse, 1 on the vertical side, and x on the horizontal

side. The 1 never changes, but x changes with time.

Find the attached file for the solution.

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
