The discussion centers on the impact of perpendicular velocities on relative motion in an inertial frame. It is established that the formula v12 + v22 does not represent a velocity, as it yields units of velocity squared. Participants emphasize the importance of clarifying the context and background of the problem to provide accurate assistance. The conclusion is that perpendicular velocities do not remain the same when considering relative motion.
PREREQUISITESPhysics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the principles of motion and relative velocity in inertial frames.
No. If you tell us a bit more about your background and how you arrived at your result it would be easier to help you.rashida564 said:Summary:: Is perpendicular velocities stay the same
Let's say we have two people that travel with respect to each, other in some inertial frame. So if we took the relative velocity of them will they be the same in as v^12+v2^2
