Objects A and B are at the origin. If object A moves to (-3 ,8 )(3,8) and object B moves to (-6 ,-1 )(6,1) over 3 s3s, what is the relative velocity of object B from the perspective of object A? Assume that all units are denominated in meters.

"the velocity of B from perspective of A :" v=3,16" m/s"the velocity of B from perspective of A :v=3,16 m/s

Explanation:

enter image source here
Delta x=-6-3=-3" m"
Delta y=-1-8=-9" m"
"displacement between the points A and B:"
a=sqrt(Delta x^2+Delta y^2)
a=sqrt((-3)^2+(-9)^2)
a=sqrt(9+81)
a=sqrt90
a=9,49" m"
v=a/(Delta t)
v=(9,49)/3
v=3,16" m/s"
