Answer:

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law, the force exerted on an object is equal to the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration of the body.

F = m x a

Where, F is the force and a be the acceleration and m be the mass of the body.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the body.

As acceleration is zero, so

a = 0

v - u = 0

Where, v is the final velocity of the body and u be the initial velocity of the body.

It means the body is moving with uniform velocity.

You and a highway patrolman are driving at constant speeds in opposite directions on a straight highway. The patrolman is drivin

Answer: 75 mph

Explanation:

The Relative Speed for a mobile is equal to the diference between the object and the observer:

Relative Speed (Rs) = Object's Velocity - Observer's Velocity

Thinking on those terms, we would need to have a universal observer to do any understandable measurement on daily basics. This is why we all use earth as a Static Observer for every measurement we do everyday.

Using Earth as an observer, the Velocity for the Patrolman is:

Patrolman Velocity (Vp) = 60 mph

Because the radar gun does measure the Relative Speed for the object, which is 135 mph, we need to work with the equation to find the Velocity using Earth as a reference.

Object's Relative Velocity = Object's Velocity - Patrolman's Velocity

Object's Velocity = Object's Relative Velocity + Patrolman's Velocity

We need to keep in mind, the Patrolman is going on the opposite direction. Because of this the sign for his velocity should be negative.

Object's Velocity = 135 mph + ( -60 mph)

Object's Velocity = 135 mph - 60 mph

Object's Velocity = 75 mph
