Answer:

From Savos point of view, Gadros appear not to be moving

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The distance between Godric and Savos = A few meters

The location of Godric and Savos = One end of the field

The location pf Peter = The other end pf the field

The speed with which Godric and Savos are moving towards Peter = 4 m/s

Let the positive x-direction be the direction in which Godric and Savos are moving

Therefore;

The speed and direction with which Godric is moving = The speed and direction with which Savos is moving = 4·i m/s

From Savos point of view, the relative speed with which Godric is moving = (The speed and direction in which Godric is moving) - (The speed and direction in which Savos is moving) = 4·i m/s - 4·i m/s = 0 m/s

Therefore, from Savos point of view, the relative speed with which Godric is moving = 0 m/s or Gadros appears stationary or not to moving.
