This is the first of many videos I'm gonna see from you. Loved it!!!!

HI Eddie! Your videos are amazing.

That’s what I am learning in my summer calc class.

[@ecunhado1999]

One way of solving this problem would be to assign a function to x and another to y, both depending on the instant of time (t), using initial positions and velocities (even not knowing y's velocity). This way you could calculate at what t x(t) = 6. Then you could use the condition x^2 + y^2 = 100 to determine y's velocity in the instant of time previously calculated.

ecunha1999 yeah that's what i'd have done

What if they were to put that the ladder is sliding away at 4cm/s instead,would we still use 4 or 0.04?

[@TheFarmanimalfriend]

You can not ignore gravity. There is a constant downward acceleration of 9.8 meter/sec^2. This makes no sense!

This is high school math...

[@burakerdem9758]

But we also don't know anything about the friction force which is acting against the weight, so shouldn't one just focus on the kinematics part, thus ignoring the forces/accelerations?
