Question

2) Two railway tracks are parallel to west east direction. Along one track, train A moves with a speed of 45 m/s from

Answer 1

Answer:

$Relative\ Velocity = 105m/s$

Explanation:

Given

$V_A = 45m/s$

$V_B = 60m/s$

Required

Determine the speed of B w.r.t A

The question implies that, we determine the relative velocity of B w.r.t A

Because both trains are moving towards one another, the required velocity is a $sum\ of\ velocities\ of$ both trains:

This is shown below:

$Relative\ Velocity = V_A + V_B$

$Relative\ Velocity = 45m/s + 60m/s$

$Relative\ Velocity = 105m/s$
