The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the relative velocity of car A with respect to car B under two different scenarios, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Given:** - Velocity of car A, \( V_A = 60 \, \text{km/h} \) - Velocity of car B, \( V_B = 45 \, \text{km/h} \) **(i) Both cars are traveling eastwards:** 1. **Identify the direction of velocities:** - Since both cars are moving in the same direction (eastwards), we can simply subtract the velocity of car B from the velocity of car A to find the relative velocity. 2. **Calculate the relative velocity:** \[ V_{AB} = V_A - V_B = 60 \, \text{km/h} - 45 \, \text{km/h} = 15 \, \text{km/h} \] 3. **Conclusion for the first scenario:** - The relative velocity of car A with respect to car B when both are traveling eastwards is \( 15 \, \text{km/h} \). --- **(ii) Car A is traveling eastwards and car B is traveling westwards:** 1. **Identify the direction of velocities:** - Here, car A is moving eastwards, and car B is moving westwards. Since they are moving in opposite directions, we will add their velocities to find the relative velocity. 2. **Calculate the relative velocity:** \[ V_{AB} = V_A + V_B = 60 \, \text{km/h} + 45 \, \text{km/h} = 105 \, \text{km/h} \] 3. **Conclusion for the second scenario:** - The relative velocity of car A with respect to car B when car A is traveling eastwards and car B is traveling westwards is \( 105 \, \text{km/h} \). ### Final Answers: - (i) \( 15 \, \text{km/h} \) (both eastwards) - (ii) \( 105 \, \text{km/h} \) (A eastwards, B westwards) ---
