In a highway intersection as shown, car A is decelerating at a rate of 2 m/s² while travelling at a speed of 80 kph on the northbound lane. At the same instant, car A is leaving the southbound lane while travelling at a constant speed of 60 kph along the curved road. Determine the relative velocity of car A relative to B and the acceleration of car A relative to B.
