If two cars A and B are moving with velocity 60 km/hr and 80 km/hr
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

VAB = 20km/hr

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Velocity of car A, VA = 60km/hr

Velocity of car B, VB = 80km/hr

To find the relative velocity of B w.r.t A, VAB;

Since the two cars are moving in the same direction, we have;

VAB = VB - VA

Substituting into the equation, we have;

VAB = 80 - 60

<em>VAB = 20km/hr</em>

Therefore, the relative velocity of car B with respect to car A is 20 kilometers per hour.
