Two ball A & B thrown in different direction from the same place at the same instant. Find the separation between the ball at time t.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We need to know the direction and the initial velocity.

|dw:1404876592861:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we're not given the angles, are you trying to solve for the general case?

OpenStudy (cp9454):

yes, angles are not given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then, remember that \(v_x=|v|\cos(\theta)\).

OpenStudy (cp9454):

i know\[v _{x} and v _{y}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You also have to consider the vertical component of their trajectories if they're not thrown at the same angle

OpenStudy (cp9454):

i know that, you just rell me how to find the seperation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How to find it? Sure: take each expression for each component, take the difference, and then find the norm of the resulting vector.

OpenStudy (cp9454):

you have done and answer is coming

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure what you mean...?

OpenStudy (cp9454):

we have to use concept of relative velocity here
