Homework Statement
Two soccer players, Mary and Jane, begin running from nearly the same point. Mary runs in an easterly direction at 4 m/s, while Jane takes off in a direction 60 degrees north of east at 5.4 m/s. (a) How long before they are 25 m apart? (b) What is the velocity of Jane relative to Mary? (c) How far apart are they after 4 s?
Homework Equations
D=v/t
Yf=Yi+(Vy)iT+1/2at^2
Xf=Xi+(Vx)iT
The Attempt at a Solution
T must be the same value in both equations, but I do not know how to convert velocity vectors with a 60 degree separation into distance to solve the problem. I have a test tomorrow and your input would be much appreciated!
