(1) Two boats leave the shore at the same time

and travel in the directions shown. If and
determine the velocity of boat A with
respect to boat B. How long after leaving
the shore will the boats be 800 ft apart?

(2)At the instant shown, the bicyclist at A is

traveling at 7 m/s around the curve on the
race track while increasing his speed at 0.5
m/s2. The bicyclist at B is traveling at 8.5
m/s along the straight-a-way and increasing
his speed at 0.7 m/s2. Determine the relative
velocity and relative acceleration of A with
respect to B at this instant.

(3) At the instant shown, cars A and B travel at

speeds of 70 mi/h and 50 mi/h, respectively.
If B is increasing its speed by 1100 mi/h2,
while A maintains a constant speed.
Determine the velocity and acceleration of
B with respect to A.Car B moves along a
curve having a radius of curvature of 0.7 mi

(4) The two cyclists A and B travel at the same

constant speed v at 50 mi/h. Determine the
speed of A with respect to B if A travels
along the circular track, while B travels
along the diameter of the circle.
(5) Cars A and B are traveling around the
circular race track. At the instant shown, A
has a speed of 90 ft/s and is increasing its
speed at the rate of 15 ft/s2, whereas B has a
speed of 105 ft/s and is decreasing its speed
at 25 ft/s2. Determine the relative velocity
and relative acceleration of car A with
respect to car B at this instant.

(6) A passenger in an automobile observes that

raindrops make an angle of 30° with the
horizontal as the auto travels forward with
a speed of 60 km/h. Compute the terminal
(constant)velocity Vr of the rain if it is
assumed to fall vertically.
