    To calculate the velocity relative to car A, you have to add the opposite of the velocity of car A to car B.

    the velocity of car B relative to car A:

    (let east and north directions be positive)

    v = v (car B) - v (car A)

    v (east-west direction) = - 120 * cos 30° - 110

    v (north - south direction) = - 120 * sin 30° - 0
