- A rodeo horse is running around a corral at a speed of 300 ft/s. Let x(t) be the distance of the horse from the third barrel and y(t) his distance from the fourth. (see figure; note that the distance between barrels is 900 řt). At what rate is the horse's distance from the fourth barrel changing at the instant when he is 200 ft from the third? 2 1 3 4arrow_forwardHow would I begin to solve this problem? In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for a rocket's position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t) = (RE3/2 + 3*(g/2)1/2 REt)2/3 where RE is the radius of the Earth (6.38 ✕ 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earth's surface (9.81 m/s2).
