Question
The drawing shows two cars traveling in different directions with different speeds. Their velocities are:
vAG = velocity of car A relative to the Ground = 32.4 m/s, due east
vBG = velocity of car B relative to the Ground = 21.0 m/s, due northThe driver of car B looks out the window and sees car A. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of car A as observed by the driver of car B? In other words, what is the velocity vAB of car A relative to car B?
