Homework Statement
Two objects ##1## and ##2## move at constant speeds ##v_1## and ##v_2## along of two mutually perpendicular lines. At the moment ##t = 0## the particles are located at distances ##l_1## and ##l_2## from the point of intersection of the lines. At what time will the two objects have a minimum distance? And
what is its expression?

The Attempt at a Solution
I tried solving this using Galilean transformation. So I set the coordinate system on de first object, like this.
Then. I ended up with something like this.
After that, I calculated ##\sin \theta = \frac{min}{d}## thus ##min=d* \frac{v_2}{\sqrt{v_1^{2}+v_2^{2}}}##. Am I right?
