Question

A driver is moving on the car in the east direction with a velocity of 40m/s seems a bus moving in the north direction with the velocity of 70m/s what is the velocity of bus and in which direction

Open in App
Solution

Vc = velocity of the car= 40m/sVb = velocity of the busv is the resultant velocity = 70 m/sv = Vc2+Vb2+2VcVbcosθwhere θis the angle between car and busnow resulatant velocity is making an angle 90 degree with cartan 90 = Vbsin θVc + VbcosθthereforeVc = -Vbcosθvb = -Vccosθv = Vc2+Vb2+2VcVbcosθ70 = 402+402cos2θ-2×402cosθ = 0.5θ = 60 degreeVb = -400.5 =-80 m/snegatibe sogn shows that bus is moving in the direction 90+60 = 150 degree with respect to car with speed 80 m/s.
