Hi.
I have no idea how to even begin to do this question and so I would really appreciate any help.
Two helicopters P and Q are moving in the same horizontal plane. They are modeled as particles moving in straight lines with constant speeds. At noon P is at the point with position vector (20i + 35j) km with respect to a fixed origin O. At time t hours after noon the position vector of P is p km. When t = 0.5 the position vector of P is (50i - 25j) km. Find
(a) the velocity of P in the form (ai + bj) km/h,
I got this as (60i - 120j) km/h.
(b) an expression for p in terms of t.
Thank you.
Cathy
