Question

A car traveling 94 km/h is 110 m behind a truck traveling 74 km/h. What is the relative velocity of the car with respect to the truck?

1) 20 km/h
2) 30 km/h
3) 40 km/h
4) 50 km/h

Answer 1

The relative velocity of the car with respect to the truck is 20 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relative velocity of the car with respect to the truck is calculated by finding the difference in their velocities. The car is traveling at 94 km/h while the truck is traveling at 74 km/h. Therefore, the relative velocity of the car with respect to the truck is:

Vcar/truck = Vcar - Vtruck = 94 km/h - 74 km/h = 20 km/h.
