Question

Xavier is roller skating at 14 km/h and tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h. The speed of the keys relative to the ground is

Answer 1

22 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Speed of Xavier, v = 14 km/h

He tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h, v' = 8 km/h

We need to find the speed of the keys relative to the ground. Let it is V.

As both Xavier and the keys are moving in same diretion. The relative speed wrt ground is given by :

V = v+v'

V= 14 + 8

V = 22 km/h

So, the speed of the keys relative to the ground is 22 km/h.
