Consider two trains A and B moving along parallel tracks with the same velocity in the same direction. Let the velocity of each train be `50kmh^(-1)` due east. Calculate the relative velocities of the trains.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Relative velocity of B with respect to A,
`v_(BA)=v_(B)-v_(A)=50kmh^(-1)+(-50)kmh^(-1)=0kmh^(-1)`
Similarly, relative velocity of A with respect to Bie. V is also zero.
Thus each train will appear to be at rest with respect to the other.
