Can someone please explain in relative velocity please?
Relative velocity is the measurement of the velocity of an object in relation to another object. It takes into account the motion of both objects and their respective speeds and directions.
Relative velocity is calculated by subtracting the velocity of one object from the velocity of another object. This accounts for the difference in motion between the two objects.
Yes, relative velocity can be negative. This indicates that the two objects are moving in opposite directions.
Absolute velocity is the velocity of an object in relation to a fixed point or frame of reference. Relative velocity takes into account the motion of two objects in relation to each other. This means that relative velocity can change depending on the frame of reference, while absolute velocity remains constant.
Some real-life examples of relative velocity include a person walking on a moving train, a boat traveling on a river with a current, and a car passing another car on the highway. In each of these scenarios, the velocity of one object is affected by the motion of another object.
