An air traffic controller spots two airplanes at the same altitude converging to a point as they fly at right angles to each other. hour. The other is 200 miles from the point and has a speed of 800 miles per hour. One airplane is 150 miles from the point and has a speed of 600 miles per (a) At what rate is the distance between the planes changing? mph (b) How much time does the controller have to get one of the airplanes on a different flight path?
