Question 11 Exercise 2D N
S B
rs 600 j 7i 8 j t rB 120 j 7i 24 j t
In order to prevent a collision, 15s after noon S changes
its velocity to (7i +30j) ms-1.
Observation Point
Consider S at t = 15
rs 600 j 15 7i 8 j
rs 600 j 105i 120 j
rs 105i 720 j
S changes course and travels (7i +30j) ms-1 for 15 seconds, so find S after this time
rs 105i 720 j 7i 30 j t
rs 105i 720 j 15 7i 30 j
