A. From the perspective of point x, vector a and vector b are approaching with around the same speed. From Joseph's perspective, the two are walking with around the same speed. Determine if vector a is approaching with the same speed, twice the speed, or half the speed from the perspective of vector b. Explain.B. Vectors x and y are moving with uniform velocities. If the image below is t = 0, how long will it take (in seconds) for vector x to be in the same position with vector y? How far should vector x have traveled (in meters) by the time it has overtaken the position of vector y? Show proper solution.
