The function D(v) in the figure below gives the air resistance, or drag (in pounds) , on a blunt object as a function of its velocity.(Notice that the curve rises sharply near v = 700 miles/hour, the speed of sound.This represents the "sound barrier.") If a blunt object traveling 725 miles/hour is accelerating at the constant rate of 6000 miles/hour2, at approximately what rate (in pounds/hour) is the drag increasing at that moment? Select the closest answer.
A) 4800 lb/hr
B) 8 lb/hr
C) 600 lb/hr
D) 48,000 lb/hr
