Question

Find the relative velocities of two ships sailing down a river,one heading due east at 4m/s the other sailing west at 2m/s​

Answer 1

Answer:

relative velocity of ship sailing to east with respect to the ship sailing to west is "2m/s towards east". Also relative velocity of ship sailing to west with respect to ship sailing to east is"2m/s towards east"

Explanation:

rel vel of ship E w.r.t W =(4-2)m/s east

rel vel of ship W w.r.t E =(2-4) m/s east

= -2m/s west

=2 m/s east
