Answer 2

use relative velocity ..

Answer 3

what is that?

Answer 4

hmmm
when two objects are moving with velocity u , v in the same direction then
relative velocity (comparing one velocity with other) = u - v ( where u > v )

similarly when they are moving in opposite direction then

relative velocity = u + v

u can use this to solve the problem..
