Question

Particles a and b move in opposite directions with angular velocity ω around a circle of radius L. At t=0 they are both passing through the +x axis (left figure). The angular position of particle a, θ (>0), is measured from the positive x-axis as shown in the right figure below. The angular position of particle b is −θ.
Find the x and y components of the velocity vector v⃗ ab, the velocity of particle a relative to particle b. Express your answer in terms of ω, L and θ as needed. Type omega for ω and theta for θ
