Question Number 157739 by gsk2684 last updated on 27/Oct/21

two parallel paths 26m apart run  east−west through the woods.  one person east on one path at   3 kmph and another west on other   path at 4 kmph. if they pass each   other at time t =0 ,   i)how far apart are they  8 sec later?   ii) how fast is the   distance between them changing   at that mlment?   iii)find the distance L  between them at 8 sec and (dL/dt)?

a time = t  position of first person=3t i^�   position of second person=−4t i^�   distance between them = ∣3t−(−4t)∣=7t  (assuming ′t′ is positive)    (i) at t=8  distance between them= 7×8=56 km  (ii) (d/dt)(7t)=7 kmph. irrespective of the time  (iii)L=56 km and (dL/dt)=7kmph

$${a}\:{time}\:=\:{t} \\ $$$${position}\:{of}\:{first}\:{person}=\mathrm{3}{t}\:\hat {{i}} \\ $$$${position}\:{of}\:{second}\:{person}=−\mathrm{4}{t}\:\hat {{i}} \\ $$$${distance}\:{between}\:{them}\:=\:\mid\mathrm{3}{t}−\left(−\mathrm{4}{t}\right)\mid=\mathrm{7}{t} \\ $$$$\left({assuming}\:'{t}'\:{is}\:{positive}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\left({i}\right)\:{at}\:{t}=\mathrm{8} \\ $$$${distance}\:{between}\:{them}=\:\mathrm{7}×\mathrm{8}=\mathrm{56}\:{km} \\ $$$$\left({ii}\right)\:\frac{{d}}{{dt}}\left(\mathrm{7}{t}\right)=\mathrm{7}\:{kmph}.\:{irrespective}\:{of}\:{the}\:{time} \\ $$$$\left({iii}\right){L}=\mathrm{56}\:{km}\:{and}\:\frac{{dL}}{{dt}}=\mathrm{7}{kmph} \\ $$

thanks   and it is guven that the paths are  parallel not on the same line.  and they apart 26m.
