The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we can break down the concepts of relative velocity step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Relative Velocity Relative velocity is defined as the velocity of one object as observed from another object. It can be calculated using the formula: \[ V_{AB} = V_A - V_B \] where \( V_{AB} \) is the relative velocity of object A with respect to object B, \( V_A \) is the velocity of object A, and \( V_B \) is the velocity of object B. ### Step 2: Analyzing Statement 1 Statement 1 claims that the relative velocity between any two bodies moving in opposite directions is equal to the sum of their velocities. - Let’s assume: - Body A is moving to the right with velocity \( V_A \). - Body B is moving to the left with velocity \( V_B \). In this case, since they are moving in opposite directions, we can express their velocities as: - \( V_A = V_A \hat{i} \) (to the right) - \( V_B = -V_B \hat{i} \) (to the left) Calculating the relative velocity \( V_{AB} \): \[ V_{AB} = V_A - (-V_B) = V_A + V_B \] Thus, Statement 1 is correct. ### Step 3: Analyzing Statement 2 Statement 2 states that sometimes the relative velocity between two bodies is equal to the difference in their velocities. - This is generally true when both bodies are moving in the same direction. For example: - If Body A is moving to the right with velocity \( V_A \) and Body B is also moving to the right with velocity \( V_B \), then: Calculating the relative velocity \( V_{AB} \): \[ V_{AB} = V_A - V_B \] In this case, the relative velocity is indeed the difference of their velocities. Thus, Statement 2 is also correct. ### Conclusion Both statements are true: - Statement 1 is true because when two bodies move in opposite directions, their relative velocity is the sum of their velocities. - Statement 2 is true because when two bodies move in the same direction, their relative velocity is the difference of their velocities. ### Final Answer Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
