a. When Frank initially sees the coyote, the angle of depression for his vision is 6 degrees. Draw a picture! At this point in time, how far is the coyote from the base of the cliff? feet Preview b. After watching the coyote for 44 seconds, the angle of depression for Frank's vision is 13 degrees. At this point in time, how far is the coyote from the cliff? feet Preview c. What is the coyote's average speed (in ft/sec) between these two observations? Note: Velocity has direction, but speed is the absolute value of velocity and so speed is non- negative. ft/sec Preview
