What is the velocity of car A with respect to car B?
Justification: The velocity of Car A with respect to Car B (vAB) is given by: vAB = vA – vB. According to the person driving Car B (a frame of reference moving at the velocity of 80 km/h [right]), Car B is stationary while Car A is moving at 140 km/h [right].
What is the velocity of the car relative to the truck?
If both the truck and car start at the same time and at the same place, what is the relative velocity of the cars? The velocity of the truck relative to the car is 150–60 = 90 km/s towards the north; the velocity of the car relative to the truck is 90 km/s towards the south.
How do you find the velocity?
To figure out velocity, you divide the distance by the time it takes to travel that same distance, then you add your direction to it. For example, if you traveled 50 miles in 1 hour going west, then your velocity would be 50 miles/1 hour westwards, or 50 mph westwards.
