Answer: The relative velocity of the comet with respect to sun is '-351 m/s'.
Explanation:
Let the magnitude of the velocity of the spaceship moving away from the sun be
Let the magnitude of the velocity of the comet moving towards the sun be
Assuming the direction away from the sun to be positive then :
The velocity of the space ship :
The velocity of the comet :
= relative velocity of spaceship with respect to comet
Velocity of the comet.
= Relative velocity of comet with respect to sun:
(Sun is fixed at one point)
The negative sign means that comet is moving towards the sun.The relative velocity of the comet with respect to sun is '-351 m/s'.
