1. at t=0, the distance between ships is d= sqrt [(4)^2 + (2.5)^2] which equals 4.72 km 2. The north/south component at any time would be (4 - 19t) km/h 3. Would the east/west component be 0 km/h for ship A, or (2.5 - 40cos36)km/h ? I am not sure about this one. 4. would the distance...

This is the part I am not understanding. How do I formulate an equation for the distance between the ships as a function of time? I have no idea where to begin for this part. Thank you for your aid.

Hi, I'm having difficulty with this problem, and was hoping whether someone could lend me a hand? After being provided with this info; Ship A is located 4.0 km north and 2.5 km east of ship B. Ship A has a velocity of 19 km/h toward the south and ship B has a velocity of 40 km/h in a...
