Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $v_A = 120 \text{ km/h}$ and $v_B = 50 \text{ km/h}$ respectively in the directions as indicated by the arrows in the figure below. What is the relative speed of car $B$ with respect to car $A$ (in $\text{ km/h}$)?

$A$ river is flowing from west to east at a speed of $8\,m/min$. $A$ man on the south bank of the river,capable of swimming at $20\,m/min$ in still water,wants to swim across the river in the shortest time. He should swim in a direction

Particle $A$ moves along the $X$-axis with a uniform velocity of magnitude $10 \ m/s$. Particle $B$ moves with a uniform velocity of $20 \ m/s$ along a direction making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the positive direction of the $X$-axis as shown in the figure. The relative velocity of $B$ with respect to $A$ is

$A$ particle is moving along the $x$-axis with its coordinate with time '$t$' given by $x(t) = 10 + 8t - 3t^2$. Another particle is moving along the $y$-axis with its coordinate as a function of time given by $y(t) = 5 - 8t^3$. At $t = 1 \; s$,the speed of the second particle as measured in the frame of the first particle is given as $\sqrt{v}$. Then $v$ (in $m^2/s^2$) is:
