A Rising Balloon A hot-air balloon rising straight up from a level field is tracked by a range finder 500 ft. from the lift-off point. At the moment the range finder's elevation angle is Π/4, the angle is increasing at the rate of 0.14 rad/min. How fast is the balloon rising at that moment?

A Highway Chase A police cruiser, approaching a right- angled intersection from the north, is chasing a speeding car that has turned the corner and is now moving straight east. When the cruiser is 0.6 mi north of the intersection and the car is 0.8 mi to the east, the police determine with radar that the distance between them and the car is increasing at 20 mph. If the cruiser is moving at 60 mph at the instant of measurement, what is the speed of the car?
