Question

Megan is sitting in her car in a parking lot. The car next to her pulls forward. If Megan is looking only at the car next to her as it pulls forward, in which direction does her car appear to be moving?

Answer 1

Answer:Backward

Explanation:

If the car next to Megan is being Pulled Forward and Megan is seeing only the pulled car then her car appears to be moving backward.

This can be said by using the concept of relative velocity which states that the speed of the body with respect to the other is considered to be at rest.

Here Megan's car appears to move backward with respect to the car next to her due to the existence of relative velocity.
