Comments
When asking about relative velocity, all that means is the perceived velocity of the policeman by Jed. Since Jed is traveling at 40km/hr and the policeman is traveling at 60km/hr relative to the earth, the policeman's relative velocity to Jed is: 60km/hr - 40km/hr = 20km/hr. The policeman is traveling at 20km/hr relative to Jed.
