    (a) Relative speed of Sam = - 7 mph

    (b) Relative speed of George = 7 mph

    Explanation:

    We have given speed of Sam 65 mph in north direction.

    And speed of George is 72 mph also in north direction

    We have find the relative velocity of both Sam and George

    (a) Speed of Sam relative to George = speed of Sam - speed of George = 65 - 72 = - 7 mph

    (b) Speed of George with respect to Sam = speed of George - speed of Sam = 72-65 = 7 mph
