A ball rolls at a speed of 4 km/h towards the back of a bus traveling forward at a speed of 35km/h. What is the magnitude of the balls velocity relative to the ground ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

31 km/h in the direction which the bus is travelling

Explanation:

ball rolls at a speed of 4 km/h towards the bus back. Thus, V_bb = 4 km/h

Velocity of the bus relative to the ground; V_bg = 35 km/h

Let v_br be velocity of the ball relative to the ground.

If we define the direction to be positive, we have;

v_br = V_bg - v_bb

v_br = 35 - 4

v_br = 31 km/h in the direction which the bus is travelling
