Question
Boat A is located 4km north and 2.5km east of ship B. Ship A with a speed of 22 km/hour is moving south, and ship B with a speed of 40 km/hour is moving at an angle of 37 degrees to the northeast (37 degrees measured from east to north). (a) What is the speed of ship A relative to ship B in unit vector notation (i ̂ for east), (b) when is the separation between the ships the smallest and what is the smallest distance?

- Suppose you walk 14.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west then you walk 22 m in a direction exactly 39° west of north. Repeat the problem by finding your distance from the starting point in m, but reverse the order of the two legs of the walk. That is, you first walk leg B, which is 22 m in a direction exactly 39 degrees west of north, and then leg A, which is 14.5 in a direction 19 degrees south of west.
