Particle $A$ (which was located at the origin at time $t=0$) is moving along the $x$-axis with a constant speed of $1 \,m/s$. The location of particle $B$, which is moving along the $y$-axis, is given by $y=ct^2$, where $c=1 \,m/s^2$. Find the speed of particle $A$ relative to particle $B$ at $t=1 \,s$.

$A$ shell is fired at a speed of $200\ m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above the horizontal from the top of a tower $80\ m$ high. At the same instant,another shell is fired from a jeep travelling away from the tower at a speed of $10\ m/s$ as shown. The velocity of this shell relative to the jeep is $250\ m/s$ at an angle of $53^o$ with the horizontal. Find the time (in $sec$) taken by the two shells to come closest.
