What is the speed and direction of the train if the girls is the frame of reference?

Respuesta :

Answer: The speed is 105 miles/ hr and  the direction of the train would be East if the girl is the frame of reference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed of train = 100 miles per hour

Speed of girl = 5 miles per hour

Since the girl is moving towards the back of train.

So,it means train and girl are moving in opposite direction.

So, Relative speed would be

[tex]100+5=105\ miles/hr[/tex]

Hence, the speed is 105 miles/ hr and  the direction of the train would be East if the girl is the frame of reference.
