Related Rates in Calculus: The Two Ship Problem
In this calculus video we have two ships with one initially being 100 km due west of the other. One travels north at rate of 25 kph while the other travels south at a rate of 35 kph. We want to know the rate at which the distance between them is changing some time later.
