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

The velocities of $A$ and $B$ are $\vec{v}_A = 2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}$ and $\vec{v}_B = 3 \hat{i} - 7 \hat{j}$. The velocity of $B$ as observed by $A$ is:

On a long horizontally moving belt,a child runs to and fro with a speed $9 \; km \; h^{-1}$ (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located $50 \; m$ apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of $4 \; km \; h^{-1}$. For an observer on a stationary platform outside,what is the:
$(a)$ speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt?
$(b)$ speed of the child running opposite to the direction of motion of the belt?
$(c)$ time taken by the child in $(a)$ and $(b)$?
