Time, Rate, and Distance (Opposite Directions)

This uniform motion (problem 2) involves one object traveling in one direction and the other in the opposite direction, solving for "how long" (or the amount of time) two moving objects traveling until they are certain distance apart.

This problem is also called "distance rate time problem" or "uniform rate problem."

Extended questions:
"At what time will they be a certain distance apart?" 3:00
"How far has each object traveled?" 3:08

The actual problem from the video:
"Two planes leave the same point at 8 AM. Plane 1 heads East at 600 mph and Plane 2 heads West at 450 mph. How long will they be 1400 miles apart? At what time will they be 1400 miles apart? How far has each plane traveled?"
