A police car starts traveling south, from a position 13 km north of Lawrence, toward Lawrence at the constant speed of 0.5 km/min. It pursues a truck that is traveling east, from a position 2 km east of Lawrence, away from Lawrence at the constant speed 3 km/min (See figure to the right). When is the distance be- tween the two vehicles at a minimum? Y Lawrence Police Car 30 km/h X Truck -> 180 km/h
