Separation at t=∞t=\infty

Classical Mechanics Level 1

Tom and Jerry both have equal top running speeds and are initially at points AA and B,B, respectively, separated by a distance of dd.

They both spot each other and immediately start running at their top speeds. Jerry runs on a straight line perpendicular to the line ABAB and Tom runs in such a way that its velocity always points towards the current location of Jerry.

Let r(t)r(t) denote the distance between Tom and Jerry at time tt.

Find lim⁡t→∞r(t)\displaystyle \lim_{t \to \infty} r(t).
