Answer:
a) Vx = -31.95 km/h b) Vy = -45.07 km/h
c) t = 0.083 h d) d = 0.22 km
Explanation:
First we have to express these values as vectors:
ra = (2.5, 3.9) km rb = (0,0)km
Va = (0, - 21) km/h Vb = (31.95, 24.07) km/h
Now we can calculate relative velocity:

For parts (c) and (d) we need the position of A relative to B and the module of the position will be de distance.


In order to find out the minimum distance we have to derive and find t where it equals zero:

Solving for t we find:
t = 0.083 h
Replacing this value into equation for d:
d = 0.22 km
