A car and a van start from the same point (origin of the coordinate system) and move to different locations. The car moves in the x direction by 2 m, and y direction by 4 m, and the van moves in the x direction by −2 m, and y direction by 2 m. Assume that the car and van moved with a constant velocity, and arrived at their destination in ∆t = 5 s. Compute

(a) the relative displacement of the van from the car, and

(b) the relative velocity of the van as measured by the driver of the car.

(c) Draw all displacement vectors on the diagram. Assume that one division on the x and y axes is correspond to 1 m
