A railroad flatcar is traveling to the right at a speed of 13.0 m/s relative to an observer standing on the ground. Someone is riding a motor scooter on the flatcar.
- What is the magnitude of the velocity of the motor scooter relative to the flatcar if its velocity relative to the observer on the ground is 18.0 m/s to the right?
- What is the direction of the velocity of the motor scooter relative to the flatcar in this case (left or right)?
- What is the magnitude of the velocity of the motor scooter relative to the flatcar if its velocity relative to the observer on the ground is 3.0 m/s to the left?
- What is the direction of the velocity of the motor scooter relative to the flatcar in this case (left or right)?
-
