Question

Two bodies are moving in mutually perpendicular directions with speed v. Magnitude of
relative velocity is

a)
$\sqrt{2} v$
b) 2v
c)
$2 \sqrt{v}$
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When two bodies are moving with velocities V

1

and V

2

. Relative velocity is maximum between them when they are moving in opposite direction. The angle between them is 180

∘

or π radians.
