An Introductory Relative Motion Problem

The video tutorial covers an introductory problem on relative motion, focusing on a toy car moving on a piece of paper. The problem is divided into three parts: calculating the car's velocity relative to the Earth, determining the displacement, and finding the time taken to cross the paper. The tutorial uses vector addition, the Pythagorean theorem, and trigonometry to solve the problem, emphasizing the importance of understanding both magnitude and direction in velocity. The tutorial also highlights the use of similar triangles in solving displacement and time-related questions.
