Towns A and B in the figure below are 80.0 km apart. A couple arranges to drive from town A and meet a couple driving from town B at the lake, L. The two couples leave simultaneously and drive for 2.15 h in the directions shown. Car 1 (leaving from Town A) has a speed of 99.0 km/h. If the cars arrive simultaneously at the lake, what is the speed (in km/h) of car 2 (leaving from Town B)?b)What If? If the couple departing from town B are delayed by a flat tire, how much later (in hours) can they leave town B after the first couple leaves town A and still reach the lake at the same time as the couple from town A? Assume that the speed limit on the road taken by the couple from town B is 88.5 km/h (55 mph) and that the couple obeys the speed limit.

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.
