If two bodies are moving in opposite directions with non-zero velocities, which of the following statements is true?(a) Relative velocity > Absolute velocity(b) Relative velocity < Absolute velocity(c) Relative velocity = Absolute velocity(d) Relative velocity

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (a) Relative VELOCITY > Absolute velocity

To ELABORATE: The formula for relative velocity is, VECTOR VR = Vector VA – Vector VB. When both the VELOCITIES are opposite in direction, the equation becomes VR = VA – (-VB). Hence the magnitudes add up making the relative velocity greater than the absolute velocity of any of the two bodies.
