Person A observes B moving in east direction with speed `10(m)/(s)`, B observes C moving in south direction with speed `20(m)/(s)`, C observes D moving in west direction with speed `30(m)/(s)` & D observes a tree moving with speed `40(m)/(s)` in north direction. Then the actual direction of motion of person `A` will be

A

north-west

B

north-east

C

south-east

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C



All the velocities are marked in diagram where G represents ground
Adding we get
Then `vecV_(GD)+vecV_(DC)+vecV_(CB)+vecV_(GA)=-vecV_(AG)`
Hence veclocity of A is towards south east.
