Answer:
Their relative speed is 44 m/s
Explanation:
* <em>Lets explain what is the relative speed</em>
<u><em>Relative motion</em></u> is the change in position with time of one object
compared to another object.
If objects moving in the <em>same direction</em> towards, or away from, each
other, then relative speed is ⇒ <em>fastest speed – slowest speed</em>
If objects moving in <em>opposite directions</em> towards, or away from, each
other, then relative speed is ⇒ <em>the sum of the two speeds together</em>
* Lets solve the problem
Two cars are travelling side by side down a straight road in opposite
directions.
Both cars are travelling at a speed of 22 m/s
The two cars are travelling in opposite direction, then the relative
speed is the sum of their speed together
They are travelling at the same speed 22 m/s.
Then their relative speed = 22 + 22= 44 m/s
* <em>Their relative speed is 44 m/s</em>
