Question

A police jeep is chasing with, velocity of 10 m/s a thief in another jeep moving with velocity 1m/s if they are 100m apart then find the time taken to catch theif

Answer 1

Dear Student

$$\begin{gathered} v_{police}=10m/s \\ {v}_{thief}=1m/s \\ {v}_{relative}=v_{police}-v_{thief}=9m/s \\ dis\tan ce=100m \\ timetaken=dis\tan ce/speed=\frac{100}{9}sec \end{gathered}$$
