NEET Physics Relative Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
If object A is moving with a velocity of 8 m/s due east and object B is moving with a velocity of 5 m/s due north, what is the magnitude of the velocity of object A relative to object B?
A
9.43 m/s
B
3 m/s
C
13 m/s
D
5 m/s
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The magnitude of the relative velocity v_AB can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: v_AB = √((8 m/s)^2 + (5 m/s)^2) = 9.43 m/s.
