Question

You are riding in a car that is moving at 50 m/s north.

You pull a gun out while driving and fire a bullet north at 100 m/s. If the ground is the frame of refernce, then the bullet is traveling at
m/s relative to the ground

Answer 1

the bullet is traveling at 150 m/s relative to the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

The two velocities are pointing in the same direction (both pointing North) therefore, they should add.

Then, from the ground frame of reference the bullet is travelling at: 50 m/s + 100 m/s = 150 m/s
