Question

One object moves vertically along the y-axis (x=0), and one object moves horizontally along the x-axis (y=0). 

a: If Green is at y = -10 meters and Orange is at x = -13 meters, how far are they from each other (in meters)?


b: At time t, Orange's x-position is x(t) and Green's y-position is y(t).  Orange and Green fly at vO and vG.  The numbers (for this problem) are:

  • x(0) = -54.9 meters
  • y(0) = -89.8 meters
  • vO = 10.0 m/s
  • vG = 13 m/s
  • t = 9.3 s

How far apart are they at time t?
