What is ment by relative velocity |
|
Answer» Relative velocity is defined as the rate of change relative position of one object with respect to another. Relative VelocityThis is the velocity of an object relative to some other object which might be stationary, moving slowly, moving with same velocity, moving with higher velocity or moving in opposite direction.If initial position of two objects A and B are xA (0) and xB (0), the position at time t will be,\txA (t) = xA (0) + vA t\txB (t) = xB (0) + vB t\tDisplacement from object A to B, [ xB (0) - xA (0) ] + (vB -vA)t\tVelocity of B relative to A = vBA = vB – vA\tVelocity of A relative to B = vAB = vA – vB |
