Question

Two highways intersect as shown in Fig. 4-46. At the instant shown, a police car P is distance dP = 880 m from the intersection and moving at speed vP = 88 km/h. Motorist M is distance dM = 520 m from the intersection and moving at speed vM = 52 km/h. What are the (a)x-component and (b)y-component of the velocity (both in km/h) of the motorist with respect to the police car? (c) For the instant shown in Fig. 4-46, what is the angle between the velocity found in (a) and (b) and the line of sight between the two cars

Explanation / Answer

The figure has to be shown to be able to answer this so that we know the angles at which they are moving.
