Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Plane Kinematics of Rigid Bodies: Problem 5_140

5/140 Car $A$ is traveling along the straightaway with constant speed $v$. Car $B$ is moving along the circular on-ramp with constant speed $v/2$. Determine the velocity and acceleration of car $A$ as seen by an observer fixed to car $B$. Use the values $v = 60 \text{ mi/hr}$ and $R = 200 \text{ ft}$, and utilize the $x$-$y$ coordinates shown in the figure.
