Question:

A slower-moving car is traveling behind a faster-moving bus. The velocities of the two vehicles are as follows:

A slower-moving car is traveling behind a faster-moving bus. TheAG = velocity of the Car relative to the Ground = +12 m/s

BG = velocity of the Bus relative to the Ground = +16 m/s

A passenger on the bus gets up and walks toward the front of the bus with a velocity of the bus with a velocity of PB, where PC, the velocity of the Passenger relative to the Car?


(a) +12 m/s + 16 m/s + 12 m/s = + 130 m/s
(b) -2 m/s + 16 m/s + 12 m/s = +26 m/s
(c) +2 m/s + 16 m/s - 12 m/s = +6 m/s
(d) -2 m/s + 16 m/s 2 12 m/s = +2 m/s
