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.

Two bikers are cycling from the Greater Toronto Area to Kingston. The first biker, Merckx, started 200 kilometers (KMs) away from Kingston. The second, Froome started 20KM behind Merckx. Both cyclists start out slowly, but Merckx suffers a bike fault delaying them from starting for 11 hours and giving Froome a head start. Assuming the bikers match the below speed representing the maximum speeds of each biker from the time they begin moving, which biker will reach Kingston first and when? Which of the following answer is correct: a) Merckx in 36.2 hours b) Merckx in 31.2 hours c) Froome in 38.7 hours d) Froome in 35.6 hours
