Motion in A Plane
Question
Wired Faculty App

Two persons A and B are walking with speed 4 km/hr and 5 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Find how far will be B from A after 3 hours? 

Answer

Relative velocity of B w.r.to A,  
vBA = vB - vA
      = 5- 4 = 1 km/hr 
Therefore, distance of B ahead of A in time is, 
d = vAB x t
   = 1 x 3
    = 3 km
