Question 23

At 09:00 hiker A A\,A has position vector (6i−2j)(6\mathbf{i} - 2\mathbf{j})(6i−2j) km and moves with constant velocity (−2i+4j)(-2\mathbf{i} + 4\mathbf{j})(−2i+4j) km h−1\text{h}^{-1}h−1. Hiker B B\,B has position vector (11i+3j)(11\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j})(11i+3j) km and moves with constant velocity (2i+2j)(2\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j})(2i+2j) km h−1\text{h}^{-1}h−1.
