(a)
Particle AA starts from (32)\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} and travels at 26ms126\,\mathrm{ms}^{-1} in the direction of (125)\begin{pmatrix} 12 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}. Find the position vector of AA after tt seconds.
[3]
(b)
Particle BB starts from (6718)\begin{pmatrix} 67 \\ -18 \end{pmatrix} at the same time, with speed 20ms120\,\mathrm{ms}^{-1} at angle α\alpha above the positive xx-axis where tanα=34\tan\alpha = \dfrac{3}{4}. Find the position vector of BB after tt seconds.
[4]
(c)
Hence find the time at which AA and BB meet, and the position where this occurs.
