A car is going in south with a speed of `5m//s`. To a man sitting in car a bus appears to move towards west with a speed of `2sqrt(6)m//s`. What is the actual speed of the bus?

A

`4ms^(-1)`

B

`3ms^(-1)`

C

`7ms^(-1)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`vecv_(c)=-5hatj`

`v_(a,b,c)=-2sqrt(6)hati`
`vecv_(b)=vecv_(bc)+vecv_(c)=-2sqrt(6)hati-5hatj`
`|vecv_(b)|=sqrt(4xx6+25)=7m//s`
