The direction of the velocity of the clod of dirt relative to the truck just before it hits is in the same direction as that of the truck.

The direction of the velocity of the clod of dirt relative to the ground just before it hits is in the opposite direction as that of the ground.

What is relative velocity?

The relative velocity of an object in motion is the velocity of that object when viewed from a reference point.

The direction of the velocity of the clod of dirt before it hits the ground is in the same direction as that of the truck.

However, compared to the ground, the direction of the relative velocity is in the opposite direction.
