Answer:

the ticket collector is moving at 2.00 mi/h in the same direction, the relative speed of the ticket collector to the person on the train is 65.0 mi/h - 2.0 mi/h = 63.0 mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the point of view of a person on the train, the ticket collector is moving at a speed of 63.0 mi/h. To determine this, we need to subtract the speed of the train from the speed of the ticket collector in the same direction. Since the train is moving at 65.0 mi/h
