A spy is running across the bridge of an aircraft carrier. The spy is moving with a velocity of - 4 m/s relative to the carrier. However, the aircraft carrier is moving with a velocity of 12 m/s. There is a person standing stationary on a beach watching the event. What will be the velocity of the spy according to the person on the beach? 8 m/s 6 m/s -4 m/s -7 m/s

Answer:

The  correct option is  A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  velocity of the spy relative  to the carrier is  [tex]v_s = -4 \ m/s[/tex]

    The  velocity of  the aircraft carrier is  [tex]v_a = 12 \ m/s[/tex]

   

Generally the velocity of the spy according to the person standing stationary on the beach is mathematically represented as

         [tex]v = v_s + v_a[/tex]

          [tex]v = -4 + 12[/tex]

         [tex]v = 8 \ m/s[/tex]
