Which of the following statements is true if two bodies are moving in opposite directions with non-zero velocities?
Relative speed > individual speeds
Relative speed < individual speeds
Relative speed =individual speeds
Relative speed individual speeds
Answer: (1) Relative speed > individual speeds
Explanation:
The formula of relative velocity is:
When the two velocities are in the same direction
Thus, the magnitudes add up when the two velocities are in the opposite direction
