APPLICATIONS
Therefore, if rB = (10 i + 2 j ) m
and rA = (4 i + 5 j ) m,
then rB/A = rB rA = (6 i 3 j ) m.

Find: vB/A
Plan:
1) Vector Method: Write vectors vA and vB in Cartesian
form, then determine vB vA
Solution:
1) Vector Method
vA = (650 i ) km/h
vB = 800 cos 60 i 800 sin 60 j
= ( 400 i 692.8 j) km/h
vB/A
vB
Law of Cosines:
(vB/A)2 = (800) 2 + (650) 2 (800) (650) cos 120
vB/A = 1258 km/h
Law of Sines:
vB/A vA
= or = 33.4
