    Harry Potter's Wizarding World of Related Rates discusses two scenarios involving related rates in the Harry Potter universe. In the first scenario, a potion is evaporating at a rate of 1 cubic inch per minute in a conical flask with a radius of 3 inches. The height of the potion is decreasing at a rate of -1/12 inches per minute when the height is 8 inches. In the second scenario, Harry and Draco are each flying straight towards the Golden Snitch at different rates and angles. After 3 seconds, the distance between them is decreasing at a rate of 15 feet per second.

    Claire Dempsey, 1st period

    1. Potions Class
    During a typical potions class at Hogwarts, students watch their potions
    in conical flasks bubble away with magic. If the radius of the flask is 3
    inches and the potion is evaporating at a rate of 1 cublic inch per minute,
    at what rate is the height of the potion decreasing when the height is 8
    inches?
    2. Quiddich Battle
    In an intense game of Quiddich, Harry and Draco are traveling in straight
    lines towards the Golden Snitch. Harry is 300 feet away, heading south from
    the north and Draco is 400 feet away, heading west from the east. Harry is
    traveling at a rate of 30 feet per second and Draco is traveling at a rate of 25
    feet per second. At what rate is the distance between them decreasing after
    3 seconds?
