Now I see what you guys are trying to say. After I drew a new vector diagram, it kinda came together! I think its my misunderstanding of the concept of relative velocity that needs work. Thank you so much guys! Now I can breathe...

Okay now this is what is strange... When I do it the way I would if I were working with speed, I'm getting an answer completely different from what the model answer of the textbook is. The textbook reckons it should be 10.428km but I cannot understand how they would get such a value. If they...

That makes sense! Let me give it a try and see what I get! Thank you voko :)

Okay here goes! A boat "A" travels due north at a velocity of 18km/h , and a boat "B" travels south-east at 15km/h. a) Calculate the velocity of "A" relative to "B". b) If "B" is initially 30km north of "A", calculate the shortest distance between the two boats during the motion. Right, so I...
