Two particles are projected simultaneously in the same vertical plane, from the same point, both with different speeds and at different angles with horizontal. The path followed by one, as seen by the other, is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Let
and
be the initial velocities of the two particles and
and
be their angles of projections with the horizontal.
The velocities of the two particles after time t are

And 
Their relative velocity is


Which is a constant. So the path followed by one, as seen by the other is straight line, making a constant angle with the horizontal.
