Question 140 of 308
Two cars and are moving in the same direction along a straight line with speeds km/h and km/h, respectively such that car is moving ahead of car . A person in car throws a stone with a speed so that it hits the car with a speed of m/s. The value of is ______ km/h.
Show answer and solution
Answer: (C)
Velocity of car A, km/h
Velocity of car B, km/h
Velocity of the stone relative to car B is . The velocity of the stone relative to the ground is .
The velocity of the stone relative to car A is .
The stone hits car A with a relative speed of m/s. Converting this speed to km/h:
km/h
Equating the relative speeds:
km/h
Answer:
Velocity of car B, km/h
Velocity of the stone relative to car B is . The velocity of the stone relative to the ground is .
The velocity of the stone relative to car A is .
The stone hits car A with a relative speed of m/s. Converting this speed to km/h:
km/h
Equating the relative speeds:
