6. Suppose a migrating bird flies at a constant altitude of 5 km, with a velocity of 42 km/h. At time t = 0 the bird passes directly above a radar station, where t is measured in hours. (a) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing after 10 minutes? Round your final answer to 2 decimal places and provide units. (b) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing at time t = 0, i.e. when the bird is directly above the radar station? Is this reasonable? Explain briefly.

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.072 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.151 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high ℎ0above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down?
You are driving 65.0 miles/hour and you see a police car, so you slow down to 42.5 miles/hour. It takes you 3 seconds to do this. What is your deceleration? (I asked this one before, but someone plugged in -22.5 miles/hr x 2.237 m/s / 1 mile an hour which I didn't understand)
You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.67 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.311 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high (h0) above the ground in meters was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down?
Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the most iconic cars ever as it was featured as a Batmobile in the third installment of Batman Trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. If it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds, what is its rate of change in velocity per unit time? (1 mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers)
