A balloon is rising vertically above a level, straight road at a constant rate of 1 ft/sec. Just when the balloon is 69ft above the ground, a bicycle moving at a constant rate of 18ft ft/sec passes under it. How fast is the distance (t) between the bicycle and balloon increasing 3 seconds later?

A hot air balloon is rising straight up at a constant speed of 6.20 m/s. When the balloon is 12.0 m above the ground, a gun fires a pellet straight up from ground level with an initial speed of 28.9 m/s. Along the paths of the balloon and the pellet, there are two places where each of them has the same altitude at the same time. How far above the ground are these places? Enter the smaller altitude first.

A weather balloon rising from the ground at 140 ft/min is tracked by a range finder located 300 feet from the point of liftoff. A) Find the rate at which the angle of inclination from the finger to the balloon is changing when the balloon is 400 feet above the ground. B) Find the rate at which the straight-line distance to the balloon is changing when the balloon is 400 feet above the ground.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the 40-ft level in an elevator shaft with an initial velocity (straight up) of 50 ft/sec. At the same instant, far below, an open-platform elevator passes the 10-ft level in the elevator shaft, moving upward with a constant velocity of 5 ft/sec. Determine (a) when and where the ball will hit the elevator, (b) the relative velocity of the ball with respect to the elevator when the ball hits the elevator.

Kelly is flying a kite and the kite is 100 ft above the ground (vertically). Kelly is holding the ball of string for the kite next to the ground. At the moment when Kelly has let out 300 ft of string, her kite is caught by a remote-controlled airplane flying horizontally through the air, also at a height of 100 ft. If Kelly needs to let out 5 feet of string per second because of the pull of the plane,...
