Question
14. A slower-moving car is traveling behind a faster-moving bus. The
velocitics of the two vehicles are as follows:
Vcc = velocity of the Car relative to the Ground = +12 m/s
VBG = vclocity of the Bus relative to the Ground = +16 m/s
A passenger on the bus gets up and walks toward the front of the bus with
a velocity of Vr. where Vpn = velocity of the Passenger relative to the
Bus = +2 m/s. What is Vpc, the velocity of the Passenger relative to the
Car?
(a) +2 m/s + 16 m/s + 12 m/s = +30 m/s
(b) -2 m/s + 16 m/s + 12 m/s = +26 m/s
(c) +2 m/s + 16 m/s
12 m/s = +6 m/s
%3D
(d) -2 m/s + 16 m/s – 12 m/s = +2 m/s
