A police helicopter is flying due north at 100 mi/h and at aconstant altitude of 12 mi
Chapter 3, Problem 36(choose chapter or problem)
A police helicopter is flying due north at \(100 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}\) and at a constant altitude of \(\frac{1}{2} \text { mi. }\). Below, a car is traveling west on a highway at \(75 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}\). At the moment the helicopter crosses over the highway the car is \(2 mi\) east of the helicopter.
(a) How fast is the distance between the car and helicopter changing at the moment the helicopter crosses the highway?
(b) Is the distance between the car and helicopter increasing or decreasing at that moment?
