that is the entire problem, it also states that the 3 points are all on the same link, if that helps

Any ideas?

Homework Statement I am given the location of 3 points in space: Z1= 3+3i Z2= 7+5i Z3= 5+5i and the velocity of two points: V_1= 8+0i V_2= 7+6i How do I find V3? Homework Equations V_1/2= V_1-V_2 V_3= V1+V_3/1 V_2/1= V_2-V_1 The Attempt at a Solution I have the...

Yes that is the entire problem, you are supposed to solve by using relative velocity. The equations I listed are a start, but I'm not sure where I go from there.

lol I know, I just wish I was a genius :frown: What do you mean by more clearly? Let me put some numbers into the equations I am given the location of 3 points in space: Z1= 3+3i Z2= 7+5i Z3= 5+5i V_1= 8+0i V_2= 7+6i How do I find V3? Homework Equations V_1/2= V_1-V_2 V_3=...

Please help, I know it's something simple that I'm missing.
