8. (5 points) Stephanie is sitting on the ground 10 feet from the spot where a hot air balloon is about
to land. She is watching the balloon as it travels at a steady rate of 20 feet per second towards the
ground. If θ is the angle between the ground and her line of sight to the balloon, at what rate is this
angle changing at the instant the balloon hits the ground?
10. (5 points) Stephen lives next to a park. He takes a bus from work which drops him off on the opposite
corner of the park (see below). Normally, he saves time by cutting diagonally through the park instead
of going along the sidewalk. In the winter, however, the park is covered in snow,
√ so he will cut across
to a point A as pictured, and continue on the sidewalk. He’s able to walk 5 m/s on the sidewalk,
but only 1 m/s through snow. What path should he take in order to minimize his walking time?
