train left the terminal at around 2PM. The train is traveling from north to south at a speed of 50 km per hour. AT that same time, another train also left another terminal. This train is traveling from East to West. Both trains have the same speed. The tracks of these trains are perpendicular to each other. If the north-south train is 100 km away from the intersection, and the east-west train has 50% more distance to travel than the other train before reaching the intersection, How fast in km per hour is the distance between the two trains changing at 6P.M.?

an airplane climbing at an angle of 45 degrees passes directly over a ground radar station at an altitude of 1 mile. a later reading shows that the distance from the radar station to the plane is 5 miles and is increasing at 7 mi/h. what is the speed of the plane in mi/h
The F-35A, one of the U.S. Air Force's latest fifth-generation fighter was taken 160 km away from the terminal with a speed of 30. km/h and released. The F-35A returned back to the terminal after 4 days. If we place the origin at the terminal and extend the +x-axis to the release point. With that, what is the distance traveled by the F-35A for the entire trip, the F-35A’s average speed in m/s for the entire trip, the F-35A’s average velocity in m/s for the return flight, and the F-35A’s average velocity in m/s for the entire trip?
Two cars leave an intersection, one 17 minutes after the other. The first car, A, travels north at the speed of 50 km/h and the second car, B, travels west at a speed of 70 km/h. How fast are the cars separating from each other 55 minutes after the first car leaves the intersection? the answer is 85, but I am struggling on how to find that answer

Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please
Cities A and B are connected by a straight road of total length 200 miles.Two cars depart cities A and B at the same time, moving towards each other. The A-car travels at 60 miles per hour, and the B-car at 40 mph. At the same time, a fly starts off from the front bumper of the A-car flying at 100 mph. It flies towards city B until it touches the bumper of the B-car, and then flies back, touches the A-car, flies back, etc, until the cars collide and the fly is squashed. The standard trick question is - what is the total distance traveled by the fly? At first sight one would think that the problem should be solved by the series summation, but that’s not necessary - the cars meet after 2 hours, and during that time the fly traveling at 100 mph covers exactly 200 miles. Now that you know the answer, solve this problem using the series summation [1].
