The length $x$ of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of $5 \text{ cm/min}$ and the width $y$ is increasing at the rate of $4 \text{ cm/min}$. When $x = 8 \text{ cm}$ and $y = 6 \text{ cm}$,find the rate of change of the area of the rectangle.

$A$ bullet is shot horizontally and its distance $S$ cm at time $t$ second is given by $S=1200t-15t^2$. Then, the distance covered by the bullet when it comes to rest is: (in $\text{ cm}$)

If $f(x) = 2x^{2}$,find $\frac{f(3.8) - f(4)}{3.8 - 4}$.

The diameter of one of the bases of a truncated cone is $100 \, mm$. If the diameter of this base is increased by $21 \%$ such that it still remains a truncated cone with the height and the other base unchanged,the volume also increases by $21 \%$. The radius of the other base (in $mm$) is

Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius $R$ whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density $\rho$ remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density $\left(\frac{1}{\rho} \frac{d \rho}{dt}\right)$ is constant. The velocity $v$ of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to

Displacement $s$ of a particle at time $t$ is expressed as $s=2 t^3-9 t$. Find the acceleration at the time when the velocity vanishes.
