Question

6 multiple choice 2 points use the graphic below to answer the following question. marisol is sitting in a bus that is passing by a traffic light. which statement correctly describes marisols motion? marisol is moving relative to both the traffic light and the bus driver. marisol is not moving relative to either the traffic light or the bus driver. marisol is moving relative to the traffic light, but she is not moving relative to the bus driver. marisol is moving relative to the bus driver, but she is not moving relative to the traffic light.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand relative motion concept

Relative motion depends on the reference frame. If two objects have the same velocity (including direction), they are at rest relative to each other. If their velocities are different, they are in motion relative to each other.

Step2: Analyze Marisol - traffic light motion

The bus (and Marisol in it) is moving past the traffic light. So, Marisol has a non - zero velocity relative to the traffic light (since the traffic light is stationary on the ground and the bus is moving).

Step3: Analyze Marisol - bus driver motion

Marisol and the bus driver are in the same bus. They move together with the same velocity. So, Marisol is at rest (not moving) relative to the bus driver.

Answer:

Marisol is moving relative to the traffic light, but she is not moving relative to the bus driver.
