Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Motion in Two and Three Dimensions: Problem 79
Two ships, A and B, leave port at the same time. Ship A travels northwest at 24 knots, and ship B travels at 28 knots in a direction 40Β° west of south. (1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour; see Appendix D.) What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity of ship A relative to B? (c) After what time will the ships be 160 nautical miles apart? (d) What will be the bearing of B (the direction of Bβs position) relative to A at that time?
π Solution Approach
Given: , A
Find: (a) magnitude and; (b) direction of the velocity of ship A relative to B?; (c) After what time will the ships be 160 nautical miles apart?
