Figure 1.0 below is a diagram showing two cars, A & B, travelling along a straight road, and also a person standing on the pavement at the side of the road (in bottom left-hand corner). Assume that moving from the left to the right along the road is in the positive direction and that moving from right to left the negative direction. Car A travels on the road with an absolute velocity 50km/h to the right, while Car B travels down the same street with an absolute velocity 60km/h to the right. Both velocities are relative to a stationary observer on earth. 50km/h 1 A 60km/h B Figure 1.0 Cars travelling along a road
