On a straight, level, two-lane road, two cars moving in opposite directions approach and pass each other. Car A is in the eastbound lane moving with a speed of 11 m/s, and Car B is in the westbound lane moving with a speed of 31 m/s. (a) What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of car A as seen by the driver of car B?

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc
