A police cruiser, approaching a right-angled intersection from the north, is chasing a speeding car that has turned the corner and is now moving straight cast. When the cruiser is `0.6` mile north of the intersection and the car is `0.8` mile to the east, the police determine with radar that the distance between them and the car is increasing at 20 mph. If the cruiser is moving at 60 mph at the instant of measurement, what is the speed of the car ?

Directions for questions 8-10: A police van, approaching a right-angled intersection from north, is chasing a car that has turned the corner and is now moving straight east. When the van is 0.6 km north of the intersection, the car is 0.8 km to the east. At that instant the police determines with the help of the radar that the distance between the car and the van is increasing at a rate of 20 km/ hr. The speed of the police van at that instant (71) is 60 km/ hr. Q8) If s is the distance between the car and the van, r is the position of the car and y is the position of the van at time t, then
