Relative Motion Problem: Solving for the angle of the moving object

The video tutorial covers a relative motion problem involving a toy car moving on paper. The goal is to determine the angle at which the car should travel relative to the paper to move north relative to the Earth. The tutorial explains the problem, visualizes the vectors, sets up vector addition equations, and solves for the angle Theta and the car's speed relative to Earth using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem.
