Example on Relative Motion

Train A travels with a constant speed of VA=120 km/h along the

straight and level track. The driver of car B, anticipating the
railway grade crossing C, decreases the car speed of 90 Km/h at
the rate of 3m/s2. Determine the magnitude and direction of the
velocity of the train relative to the car.

 Example 3
Objects A and B start off the same point. Object A travels 100
km at 4 N of W. Object B travels at a speed of 60 km/h for 20
minutes in the direction [S30E]. After all the travelling is
complete, find the position of object A relative to object B.

 Example 4
The car is traveling at a constant speed of 100Km/h. If the rain is
falling at 6m/s in the direction shown, determine the velocity of
the rain as seen by the driver.

 Example on Constrained Motion

If the velocity of block A up the incline is increasing at the rate

of 0.044m/s each second, determine the acceleration of B.
