An airplane is flying overhead at a constant elevation of 3000ft. A man is viewing the plane from a position 4000ft from the base of a radio tower. The airplane is flying horizontally away from the man. If the plane is flying at a rate of 500ft/s, at what rate is the distance between the man and the plane increasing when the plane passes over the radio tower?

Imagine you are standing in the antarctic during the southern hemisphere summer. the sky is clear and blue. there are no clouds in the sky. your shadow is cast on the icy ground. what is the color of the shadow?

Which body is in equilibrium? (1) a satellite orbiting earth in a circular orbit (2) a ball falling freely toward the surface of earth (3) a car moving with a constant speed along a straight, level road (4) a projectile at the highest point in its trajectory

Two masses are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley as shown below. the pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius 푅=0.381meters and mass 푀=3.1푘푔. initially 푚"is on the ground and 푚#rests 2.5 meters above the ground. if the system is released, use conservation of energy to determine the speed of 푚#just before it strikes the ground. assume the pulley bearing is frictionless.
