Nancy is sailing her boat toward Sam's boat at 5

km/h. Nora, who is just a few meters behind Nancy, is not moving in relation

to Nora. From Sam's point of view, how is Nora's boat moving?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Nora's boat is moving towards Sam at 5 km/hr

Explanation:

The question says that Nora is few meters behind Nancy and is still with respect to her that means the relative velocity between Nora and Nancy is zero

Vrel = 5 - Vnora= 0 ⇒ Vnora = 5km/hr

Pictorially we can represent the given condition as:

Nora-------few meters------Nancy -----------------    Sam

5km/hr                                         5km/hr →

Hence,  Nora's boat is moving towards Sam at 5km/hr.
