From the frame of reference of runner 1, the velocity of runner 2 will be D) 16 m/s east
What is relative velocity ?
The relative velocity is defined as the velocity of an object with respect to another observer
When two bodies are moving in opposite directions , relative velocity get added and if bodies are moving in same direction , relative velocity will get subtracted .
From the frame of reference of runner 1, the velocity of runner 2 will be
v (relative) = v1 + v1
v1 = velocity of runner 1 = 11m/s west
v2 = velocity of runner 2 = 5m/s
v = 11 + 5 = 16 m/s
correct answer will be O D. 16 m/s east as runner 2 is running in east direction
