Physics · MOTION IN A STRAIGHT LINE
A police van moving on a highway with a speed of \( 30\text{ km h}^{-1} \) fires a bullet at a thief's car speeding away in the same direction with a speed of \( 192\text{ km h}^{-1} \). If the muzzle speed of the bullet is \( 150\text{ m s}^{-1} \), with what speed does the bullet hit the thief's car?
