A helicopter is rising vertically from the ground at a constant rate of 4.5 meters per second. When it is 75 m off the ground, a jeep passed beneath the helicopter travelling in a straight line at a constant rate of 80 kph. Determine how fast the distance between them is changing after 1 second. * 12.34 m/s 11.10 m/s 10.32 m/s 9.85 m/s

The ship left port at 0630 hr on 14 September and covered a distance of 1812 km to the first drill location (Site 1) where you are going retrieve a drill core of seafloor sediments. The ship arrived at the first drill site at 1800 hr on 16 September. Calculate the rate of travel (i.e., speed) of the ship during its transit to the first drill site. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
