Q
Q: A person is running at 8 m/s in a train moving at 12 m/s in the same direction. What is the speed of the person relative to the ground?
Solution:
Speed of person relative to ground = Speed of train + Speed of person = 12 m/s + 8 m/s = 20 m/s.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the speed of the train. The train is moving at 12 m/s.
Step 2: Identify the speed of the person running inside the train. The person is running at 8 m/s.
Step 3: Since both the train and the person are moving in the same direction, you add their speeds together.
Step 4: Calculate the total speed: 12 m/s (train) + 8 m/s (person) = 20 m/s.
Step 5: The speed of the person relative to the ground is 20 m/s.
