Shadow vs Light...Games and Points!

1. An automobile traveling at a rate of 30 ft./sec. is approaching an intersection. When the automobile is 120 feet from the intersection, a truck it traveling at the rate of 40 ft./sec. crosses the intersection. the automobile and the truck are on roads that are at right angles of each other. How fast are the automobile and the truck separating 2 sec. after the truck leaves the intersection? 20 pts. for the correct answer, NO JUST GUESSING

What do you mean by "separating"? Do you mean the distance between the two or how fast they are traveling away from each other?

If its the distance: Then it's 140ft, assuming you have to follow the road

If it's the rate: They are separating at 10 ft./sec. (by what I can figure at least, 'tis probably wrong)

I got the same answer.

TMD can we have the answer to this, three of us all have the same answer for the rate!

I don't think I read the question right, but I'm wayyyyyyyyy good at math, so I don't know.......

[Azael]

14ft per sec.
