A ship is moving at a constant speed of 10 km//hr in the direction of the unit vector hat(i) . Initially. Its position vector, relative to a fixed origin is 10(-hat(i)+hat(j)) where hat(i) & hat(j) are perpendicular vectors of length 1 km. Find its position vector relative to the origin at time t hours later.

Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions (if they exist) by any algebraic method: Places A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and another from B at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What are the speeds of the two cars?
