Motion In A Straight Line Ques 29
29. A bus is moving with a speed of $10 $ $ms^{-1}$ on a straight road. A scooterist wishes to overtake the bus in $100 $ $s$. If the bus is at a distance of $1 $ $km$ from the scooterist, with what speed should the scooterist chase the bus?
[2009]
(a) $40 $ $ms^{-1}$
(b) $25 $ $ms^{-1}$
(c) $10 $ $ms^{-1}$
(d) $20 $ $ms^{-1}$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 29.(d)
Solution:
- (d) Let $v$ be the relative velocity of scooter w.r.t bus as $v=v_S-v_B$
$v=\frac{1000}{100}=10 $ $ms^{-1} V_B=10 $ $ms^{-1}$
$\therefore \quad v_S=v+v_B$,
$ =10+10=20 $ $ms^{-1} $
$\therefore \quad$ velocity of scooter $=20$ $ ms^{-1}$
When two bodies are moving in same directions, relative velocity is between difference individual velocities.
$ \vec{V} _{A B}= \vec{V} _A- \vec{V} _B $
