Naureen of the Earth

A man standing 3 feet from the base of a lamppost casts a shadow 4 feet long. If the man is

6 feet tall and walks away from the lamppost at a speed of 270 feet per minute, at what rate

will his shadow lengthen?

I've tried using similar triangles and then taking the derivative but the answer I'm getting doesn't match the answer key. Help please?

What happens to the rotational inertia of a rod with 2 masses attached if the masses are moved from the center of the rod to one on each end?

Two forces are applied to a doorknob, perpendicular to the door. The first force is three times as large as the second force. The ratio of the torque of the first to the torque of the second is ______ ?

I would really appreciate the help!

I've just finished Divergent by Veronica Roth a few days ago, and loved it. Are there any new (2010/2011) books that are really worth reading. I just want to get a few suggestions. I love almost all genres especially Science Fiction and just supernatural books. I'm not into romance but will read if it has a good plot.

Just out of curiosity, have you seen The Hunger Games trailer? What'd you think?

Hello! I'm trying to think of a name of the villain in my story. I want it to start with D, I don't know why. He's this very cold and cruel guy who killed his brother and sister-in-law for power. What do you think? So far I only came up with Deilon, Dallon and Deimon. Any suggestions?

I have asked this question many times before, but I keep running out of books. I've read most of the popular books, my favorites are

I have read some of the reviews, and many people said that the book was very disappointing. I do have the book with me right now, but I don't want to read it if it's really bad. Did you people like it?

So, this is just a random question from three of my favorite books. If Hermione, Annabeth and Katniss were in the Hunger Games, who do you think will win? Hermione won't be able to bring her wand, and Annabeth can't have her Yankees hat or her knife.

We have been planning to visit the HP world and Disney World, but we are a bit confused on where they are. Are they in the same place, and are just different theme parks, or in different places?

I'm taking the ACT tomorrow, and I'm kind of nervous, is it really hard? Which section is the hardest? I think I'll do best at math, but I'm not sure about the others. I was hoping to get some tips from others who have already taken it.

I love Fred and George Weasley, I was wondering which Fred and George scene you like the best. In my opinion, almost all of their parts makes me laugh, except for the Final Battle of-course.

I've been hearing his name a lot lately, and wanted to try reading one of his books. Will you please recommend which one I should start with?

Can you please help me find a good book? I'm very into fiction and do not like non-fiction. I've already read-

The Harry Potter Series

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Maximum Ride

Twilight (I did not like it.)

Artemis Fowl

The Red Pyramid

The Maze Runner

The Hunger Games

Please, please help!

I read this book a few weeks ago, but completely forgot what happens to Amos after Carter and Sadie defeats Set. Would anyone be able to help?

Ok, I am very bored, so I decided to ask this. Which team do you think will win, if they had a fight.

1- Order of the phoenix vs. the demigods

2- Harry Potter vs. Percy Jackson

3- Hermione vs. Annabeth

4- Ron vs. Grover

5- Luna vs. Thalia

6- Ginny vs. Clarisse

7- Neville vs. Rachel
