At any given time T, the coordinates form a right triangle with legs of length 5T and T. Therefore the distance D is given by D^2 = (5T)^2 + T^2 = 26T^2. This simplifies to D = T * sqrt(26). Therefore the rate of separation is sqrt(26) ft/sec regardless of time
Also, where’s the topographic map of the region? How can you expect us to come up with something remotely accurate without knowing this, is the third dimension a joke to you, are we all dots of ink on a paper?

You forgot about the curvature of the earth!
