The relative velocity of a particle moving with a velocity v w r,t, itself is

Correct answer: C. Zero

  • A. v
  • B. -v
  • C. Zero
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The correct answer is Zero. Relative velocity is the velocity of one object as observed from another. When considering a particle relative to itself, there is no motion observed since the particle is not moving away from or towards itself. This means the relative velocity is zero. Option A and B suggest a motion relative to an external observer, which is not the scenario described. Option D is incorrect because option C provides the correct answer.

About Force and Motion

Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
