A car A is moving with speed 40 km h - 1 along a straight line 30 ° north of east and another car B is moving with same speed along a straight line 30 ° south of east. The relative velocity of car A as observed from the car B is
Options
- A40 km h - 1 north-east
- B40 km h - 1 south
- C40 km h - 1 north
- D40 km h - 1 south-east
Correct answer
C. 40 km h - 1 north
Step-by-step solution
V → A = 40 cos ⁡ 30 o   i ^ + 20 j ^ V → B = 40 cos ⁡ 30 o   i ^ - 20 j ^ ∴ V → A B = V → A - V → B = 40 j ^ The relative velocity of car A as observed from car B is 40   km   h - 1 north
