Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

A Ford passes a Toyota on the road (both vehicles are traveling in the same direction). The Ford moves at a constant speed of 35.9 m/s. Just as the Ford passes it, the Toyota is traveling at 16.8 m/s. As soon as the Ford passes the Toyota, the Toyota begins to accelerate forward at a constant rate. Meanwhile the Ford just keeps going at a steady 35.9 m/s to the east. The Toyota catches up to the Ford a distance of 101.4 m ahead of where the Ford first passed it. What was the magnitude of the Toyota s acceleration? 6.8 m/s^2 2.5 m/s^2 13.5 m/s^2 5.0 m/s^2
