To solve the problem of finding the velocity of car X relative to car Y and vice versa, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of relative velocity Relative velocity is defined as the velocity of one object as observed from another object. If we have two objects A and B, the relative velocity of A with respect to B (denoted as \( V_{A/B} \)) can be calculated using the formula: \[ V_{A/B} = V_A - V_B \] where \( V_A \) is the velocity of object A and \( V_B \) is the velocity of object B. ### Step 2: Identify the velocities of the cars ...
