Runner A is initially 3.6 mi west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 5.6 mi/h due east. Runner B is initially 2.8 mi east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 5.7 mi/h due west. How far are the runners from the flagpole when they meet? Answer in units of mi.

Two cars, one going due West at the rate of 100 km/hr and the other goingNorth at the rate of 70 km/hr, are traveling toward the intersection of the tworoads. At what rate are the cars approaching each other at the instant when thefirst car is0.3 km and the second car is 0.2 km from the intersection?
A wide receiver is running along the sideline straight toward the goal at a constant speed. When he is 27 m away from the goal line he catches the ball, but there is a cornerback 12 m behind him moving with a constant speed of vc = 9.0 m/s. What speed should the wide receiver have to make sure he reaches the goal line just as the cornerback reaches him?
