Point A moves uniformly with velocity v that is continually "aimed" at point B which in turn moves rectilinearly and uniformly with velocity . At the initial moment of time is perpendicular to and the points are separated by a distance .
If at some instant their velocities make certain angle (say ) and by that time the distance traversed by A perpendicular to the motion of B is , find the value of the angle if .

There is not much physics involved here as I would say.Just you need to resolve velocities along axes, write differentials use cool substitutions for solving and you get the required answer.A powerful tool would be to write the velocity of approach.
