Two cars travelling on straight road in opposite direction with speed 70km/hr, 60km/hr their relative velocity will be

Correct answer: B. 130km/h

  • A. 10km/h
  • B. 130km/h
  • C. 65 km/h
  • D. 5km/h

Explanation

When two objects are moving in opposite directions, their relative velocity is the sum of their individual velocities. In this case, one car is traveling at 70 km/hr and the other at 60 km/hr.To find the relative velocity, we add the two velocities together:Relative velocity = Velocity of car 1 + Velocity of car 2Relative velocity = 70 km/hr + 60 km/hrRelative velocity = 130 km/hr

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.
