An airliner passes over an airport at noon traveling 510 mi / hr due east. At 1:00 p.m., another airliner passes over the same airport at the same elevation traveling due north at 550 mi / hr. Assuming both airliners maintain their (equal) elevations, how fast is the distance between them changing at 2:30 p.m.?
