Car 1 drives 20 mph to the south, and car 2 drives 30 mph to the north. From the frame of reference of car 1, what is the velocity of car 2?

Respuesta :

We subtract the velocity of car 1 from the velocity of car 2:
[tex]v=(30\ mph\ North)-(20\ mph\ South)[/tex]
[tex]=(30\ mph\ North)+(20\ mph\ North)[/tex]
[tex]=50\ mph\ North[/tex]

The velocity of car 2 from the frame of reference of car 1 will be 10 mph.

What is velocity?

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is

The velocity of car 1, V₁ = 20 mph south

The velocity of car 2, V₂ = 30 mph north

From the frame of reference of car 1, the velocity of car 2 will be V₁₂

From the frame of reference of car 1, the velocity of car 2 will be;

V₁₂=V₂ - V₁

V₁₂= 30 mph - 20 mph

V₁₂= 10 mph

Hence, the velocity of car 2 from the frame of reference of car 1 will be 10 mph.
