What is the relative velocity of two observers with given object velocities?

Hello dragan.

Just to make it clear to me, is the original question this :-

We are given a velocity (vector) in one frame and a velocity (vector) in another frame. The frames are moving relative to each other. We wish to know what is the velocity (vector) of the frames relative to each other.

yes, precisely :) btw, we already have the solution, but the problem is interesting anyway. Most people usually say at first that it is a "standard" problem and it is enough to interchange the velocities (up to a minus sign) in the transformation formula.
