Answer to Problem 1RCQ

Solution: Speed relative to ground is 61km/hr.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Your speed, v1=1km/hr
Speed of train, v2=60km/hr(vesignisforoppositedirection)

Calculation:

Velocity is a vector quantity that depends on the magnitude as well as direction.

Since, you travel in the opposite direction of the train; therefore, your speed relative to ground is given as, Vrel=v1v2

Plugging the values in the above equation, Vrel=1(60)=61km/hr

Conclusion:

Your speed relative to ground is 61km/hr.
