Question:medium
Car A is moving to the east with a speed of 30 km/hr, and car B is moving to the north with the same speed. What is the velocity of car B as measured in car A?
Car A is moving to the east with a speed of 30 km/hr, and car B is moving to the north with the same speed. What is the velocity of car B as measured in car A?
Show Hint
Subtract the vector of the observer (A) from the vector of the object (B).

- A bob of mass \( m \) is suspended by a light string of length \( L \). It is imparted a minimum horizontal velocity at the lowest point \( A \) such that it just completes a half circle, reaching the topmost position \( B \).
