Answer:
C.The car appears to be moving 30 km/hr in the opposite direction of the bus.
Explanation:
There are two reference systems involved in this situation:
- Reference system S: this is the reference system where velocities are measured with respect to the ground. In this reference system, the car is parked, so its velocity is
- Reference system S': this is the reference system moving with the bus. This reference system is moving with a velocity of with respect to the reference system S
Calling the velocity of the car in the reference system S', we have:
From which
and the negative sign means that a passanger in the bus observes the car moving in the opposite direction.
Speed of car A is given as
now we need to convert it into SI units
1 miles = 1609 m
1 hour = 3600 s
now we have
now its distance from Bambi is given as
time taken by it to hit the Bambi
Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph
so its speed in SI unit will be
now its distance from Bambi is given as
as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m
now the time to hit the other car is
So Car B will hit the Bambi first
