Question

An observer sitting at a bus stop sees the bus drive by at 30 m/s to the east. He also sees a

Answer 1

Answer:

32 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a bus is 30 m/s due East wrt the passenger

He also sees a  passenger on the bus walking to the back at 2 m/s.

We need to find the passenger's velocity relative  to the bus. As the observer sees that the bus and the passenger are moving in opposite direction. Let v is the relative velocity. So,

v = 30 m/s + 2 m/s

v = 32 m/s

Hence, the passenger's velocity relative  to the bus is 32 m/s.
