Question

Cars A and B starts from rest at the intersection of two roads which makes an angle 60 degrees with each other. Car A accelerates at 0.85 m/sec^2 and car B has an acceleration of 0.70 m/sec^2. Determine the relative displacement of the two cars 30 seconds after leaving the intersection.

Step 1

Given that car A accelerates at 0.85 m/s^2 and car B accelerates at 0.70 m/s^2, the relative acceleration of car B with respect to car A can be calculated as follows: Relative acceleration = √(0.85^2 + 0.70^2 + 2 * 0.85 * 0.70 * cos(60°)) Relative acceleration = Show more…
