the velocity of b wrt a is

vr=(va2+vb2+2.va.vbcosδ)1/2

where δ=Π+θa-θb

so ωb wrt a =vr/rsinθ

θ is the angle btw vr & x-axis

Are the particles undergoing circular motion?

ω= Vbsin(θb)-Vasin(θa)

thats right

yes aragorn whn u r in the frame of reference of A or B the other particle will seems to rotate

priyam, i think ur ans is right...this was one of the options given..
but hw did u do it??

yes priyam's ans correct..

take the perpendicular components of vel...

then relative ang speed= rel linear speed/ displacement between the two points..

similoar case..

jus here u have the vel at some angle...

[remember.... v = r X ω ... thats y we will take the perpendicular component ]

See...

As velocity (as told beautifully by Sky above (hehehe up above there is sky only :P)) is cross product of r and ω so we only care for velocity perpendicular to r (as it perpendicular velocity is product of ω and r) so only perpendicular component of velocity is shown in teh figure below:

as A is the observer so he (she) sees himself (herself) at rest and adds his (her) negative velocity to other particle (here B)..

so now wrt A velocity (perpendicular to the distance i.e. r) of B is

(vbsin(θb)-vasin(θa)

so (as it is clear from the elegant example by sky above )
ω is (vbsin(θb)-vasin(θa)
r

Note: don't consider it as division or cross division of vectors..
:P
Just kiddin..
