Motion in 2D: Relative Velocity

Q1- Two particles 1 and 2 move with constant velocities v1 and v2. At the initial moment, their radius vectors are r1 and r2. How must these four vectors be interrelated for the particles to collide? 

Q2- A ship moving along the equator to the east with velocity v0 = 30 km/hr. The south-eastern wind blows at an angle φ =600 to the equator with velocity v = 15 km/hr. Find the wind velocity v’ relative to the ship and the angle φ’ between the equator and the wind direction in the reference frame fixed to the to the ship.
