One ship is approaching a port from the east, traveling west at
15 miles per hour, and is presently 3 miles east of the port. A
second ship has already left the port, traveling to the north at 10
miles per hour, and is presently 4 miles north of the port. At this
instant, what is the rate of change of the distance between two
ships? Are they getting closer or further apart?

Two motorcycles, travelling at the same speed, approach an
intersection, one from the north and the other from the west. When
one motorcycle is 110m north and the other is 80m west of the

Round your answer to three decimal places. A car is traveling at
144 km/h due south at a point 4 5 kilometer north of an
intersection. A police car is traveling at 128 km/h due west at a
point 2 5 kilometer due east of the same intersection. At that
instant, the radar in the police car measures the rate at which the
distance between the two cars is changing. What does the radar gun
register?

At noon, ship A is 10 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A
is sailing west at 25 knots and ship B is sailing north at 23
knots. How fast (in knots) is the distance between the ships
changing at 6 PM? (Note: 1 knot is a speed of 1 nautical mile per
hour.)
What is the answer in knots? Please neat answers only!
