The relative velocity of a body A with respect to a body B is 5 m/s. The absolute velocity of body B is 10 m/s. Both the bodies are moving in the same direction. What is the absolute velocity of body A?(a) 10m/s(b) 15m/s(c) -5m/s(d) 0m/sI had been asked this question in semester exam.My question is taken from Motion in a Straight Line topic in portion Motion in a Straight Line of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (B) 15m/s

To elaborate: Here we will use the formula for relative velocity, Vector VR = Vector VA – Vector VB. Since both the bodies are MOVING in the same direction, the velocity vectors are of the same sign. VR = 5, VB = 10, therefore, VA = 15m/s.
