NEET Physics Relative Motion MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about relative motion in two dimensions is correct?
The relative velocity between two objects can be expressed as the vector difference of their velocities.
The relative velocity is the same as the average velocity of both objects combined.
Relative velocity is independent of the frame of reference chosen for the observation.
When calculating relative velocity, the magnitudes of the velocities must be added algebraically.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The relative velocity between two objects A and B is defined as v_AB = v_A - v_B, which is the vector difference of their velocities, as stated in the NCERT context.
