    Speed and Direction of VW Bug = 38 mph in north direction

    Speed and Direction of Chevy Impala = 29 mph in south direction

    Velocity of the VW Bug relative to Chevy Impala = ?

    Since, VW Bug and Chevy Impala are driving in opposite directions, their relative speeds can be determined by taking the difference between the speeds.

    Since VW Bug is faster than Chevy Impala:

    Velocity of the VW Bug relative to Chevy Impala = Speed of VW Bug - Speed of Chevy Impala

    ⇒ Velocity of the VW Bug relative to Chevy Impala = 38 - 29

    ⇒ Velocity of the VW Bug relative to Chevy Impala = 9 mph
