Answer:

The rate at which the distance between the two cars is increasing is 30 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of the first car, v₁ = 24 mi/h

speed of the second car, v₂ = 18 mi/h

Two hours later, the position of the cars is calculated as;

position of the first car, d₁ = 24 mi/h  x 2 h  = 48 mi

position of the second car, d₂ = 18 mi/h  x 2 h = 36 mi

The displacement of the two car is calculated as;

displacement, d² = 48² + 36²

                        d² = 3600

                        d = √3600

                        d = 60 mi

The rate at which this displacement is changing = (60 mi) / (2h)

                                                                                 = 30 mi/h

Answer:

   5/9 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth of the water is 2/5 of the depth of the trough, so the width of the surface will be 2/5 of the width of the trough:

  2/5 × 2 m = 4/5 m

Then the surface area of the water is ...

  A = LW = (18 m)(4/5 m) = 14.4 m²

The rate of change of height multiplied by the area gives the rate of change of volume:

  8 m³/min = (14.4 m²)(h')

  h' = (8 m³/min)/(14.4 m²) = 5/9 m/min
