A drone flies horizontally along a straight path at a constant velocity of \(+15 \text{ m/s}\) relative to the ground. A camera on the drone tracks the positions of Car A and Car B moving along the same straight road, producing the relative position versus time graph shown, where \(x_{\text{rel}} = x_{\text{car}} - x_{\text{drone}}\). What are the velocities of Car A and Car B relative to the ground? • Nerd Notes
