A police car traveling south toward Sioux Falls at 160 km/h pursues a truck traveling east away from Sioux Falls, Iowa, at 140 km/h (See figure below). At time t = 0, the police car is 40 km north and the truck is 60 km east of Sioux Falls. Calculate the rate at which the distance between the vehicles is changing at t = 0 minutes. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.) The rate is = km/h

A police car traveling south toward Sioux Falls at 160 km/h pursues a truck traveling east away from Sioux Falls, Iowa, at 140 km/h. At time t = 0, the police car is 37 km north and the truck is 30 km east of Sioux Falls. Calculate the rate at which the distance between the vehicles is increasing when t = 5 min. Round your answer to one decimal place and include correct units.
