Q 50.
A Physics teacher explains the concept of relative velocity to her students in class. She emphasises that when two bodies are moving in opposite directions, their relative velocity is sum of the velocities of the two. And when two bodies are moving in the same direction, their relative velocity is difference of the velocities of the two. Students are confused. The teacher then takes two balls one red and the other green. She says suppose red ball moves with a velocity of 5 m/s and green ball moves with a velocity of 4 m/s from a common point, and along the same straight line. If red ball is moving to the right and green ball is moving to the left, then after 1 sec, red ball is at R', where RR' = 5 m and green ball is at G' where GG' = 4 m, In Fig.(a).The distance between the two balls after 1 sec = G' R' = GG' + RR' = (4 + 5) = 9 m.
This is the magnitude of their relative velocity. If both the balls are moving to the right, as shown in Fig. (b), the distance between the two balls after 1 sec. = G' R' = RR' - GG' = 5 - 4 = 1 m.Read the above passage and answer the following questions :
(i) What value has the Physics teacher displayed ?
(ii) What have the students picked up?
(iii) Give at least one practical example of the concept.
