Aman starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point p. five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500 ft due east of p. at what rate are the people moving apart 15 minutes after the woman starts walking? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

Refer to the diagram shown below.

After 5 minutes (300 seconds):
The man travels north by (2 ft/s)*(300 s) = 600 ft
The woman, located at q, 500 east of p, begins walking south at 4 ft/s.
The distance separating them is
d₁ = √(600² + 500²) = 781.025 ft

After 20 minutes:
The man has traveled for 20 minutes (1200 s).
The woman has traveled for 15 minutes (900 s).
The man has moved (2 ft/s)*(1200 s) = 2400 ft north of p.
The woman has moved (4 ft/s)*(900 s) = 3600 ft south of q.
The distance separating them is
d₂ = √(6000² + 500²) = 6020.8 ft

The separation from d₁ to d₂ occurs in 15 minutes (900s).
Therefore the rate of separation is
Rate = (d₂ - d₁ ft)/(900 s) = (6020.8 - 781.025)/900 = 5.822 ft/s
or
Rate = (5.822 ft/s)*(60 s/min) = 349.32 ft/min

349.32 ft/min (or 5.82 ft/s)
