Objects A and B are at the origin. If object A moves to (-7 ,2 )(7,2) and object B moves to (-5 ,-6 )(5,6) over 2 s2s, what is the relative velocity of object B from the perspective of object A? Assume that all units are denominated in meters.

v_(AB)=sqrt68/2 " "m/s"( the green vector)"vAB=682 ms( the green vector)
" you can calculate "alpha " using figure" you can calculate α using figure

Explanation:

"displacement between the point A and B :"displacement between the point A and B :
vec(AB)=sqrt (8^2+2^2)=sqrt68" "mAB=82+22=68 m
v_(AB)=sqrt68/2 " "m/s"( the green vector)"vAB=682 ms( the green vector)
" you can calculate "alpha " using figure" you can calculate α using figure
