An air traffic controller spots two airplanes at the same altitude converging to a point as they fly at right angles to each other. One airplane is 120 miles from the point and has a speed of 480 miles per hour. The other is 160 miles from the point and has a speed of 640 miles per hour.

(a)At what rate is the distance between the planes changing? In MPH

(b)How much time does the controller have to get one of the airplanes on a different flight path? in MIN

Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height. Airplane A is flying east at 250 mph and airplane B is flying north at 400 mph. If they are both heading to the same airport, located 30 miles east of airplane A and 40 miles north of airplane B, at what rate (in mph) is the distance between the airplanes changing?

42. You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land. Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 19.2 km, and 25.08 south of west. The...

Two airplanes are flying in the same direction in adjacent parallel corridors. At time t = 0, the first airplane is 10 km ahead of the second one. Suppose the speed of the first plane (km/hr) is normally distributed with mean 550 and standard deviation 9 and the second plane's speed is also normally distributed with mean and standard deviation 535 and 9, respectively. a) What is the probability that after 2 hr of flying, the second plane has...
