A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with a velocity of 0.25 meters/second relative to ground in the same direction of the basketball. Find the velocity of the basketball relative to tennis ball.

OpenStudy (festinger):

This question wants you to access the speed as if you were standing on the tennis ball. The basketball has a higher speed, that means that the tennis ball will never catch up. Thus, the speed is 0.5-0.25=0.25m/s
