Two cars \(A\) and \(B\) are moving with speeds \(v_A=120 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) and \(v_B=50 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) respectively in the directions as indicated by the arrow in the figure below. What is the relative speed of the car \(B\) with respect to car \(A\) ?

  1. A \(70 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
  2. B \(120 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
  3. C \(130 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
  4. D \(170 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(130 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation is shown in the following figure Speed of car \(A\), \(v_A=120 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h} \Rightarrow \mathbf{v}_A=-120 \hat{\mathbf{i}}\) Speed of car \(B\), \(v_B=50 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) \(\mathbf{v}_B=-50 \hat{\mathbf{j}}\) \(\therefore\) Relative…
