Frame of reference physics help?
The diagram below shows the velocity vectors for two cars that are moving relative to each other.
From the frame of reference of car 2, what is the velocity of car 1?
I know it's either 70 m/s West or 20 m/s West I just can't figure out which one!

70 m/s west
Explanation:
The cars will seem to be going faster relative to each other because they are heading in opposite directions.
