There are no choices on the list you provided that make such a statement,
and it's difficult to understand what is meant by "the following".
That statement is one way to describe the approach to 'forces of gravity'
taken by the theory of Relativity.
Explanation:
It is given that,
= -40 mi/h,
= -40 mi/h
The negative sign indicates that x and y are decreasing.
We have to find
. Equation for the given variables according to the Pythagoras theorem is as follows.

Now, we will differentiate each side w.r.t 't' as follows.

or, 
So, when x = 4 mi, and y = 3 mi then z = 5 mi.
As, 
= 
= 
= 52
Thus, we can conclude that the cars are approaching at a rate of 52 mi/h.
I believe the answer is stored energy.
Answer:
300 m
Explanation:
The train accelerate from the rest so u = 0 m/sec
Final speed that is v = 80 m/sec
Time t = 30 sec
The distance traveled by first plane = 1200 m
We know the equation of motion
where s is distance a is acceleration and u is initial velocity
Using this equation for first plane 

As the acceleration is same for both the plane so a for second plane will be 2.67 
The another equation of motion is
using this equation for second plane 
s = 300 m
