What Is Relative Velocity?

Relative speed refers to the speed measured with a non-ground frame of reference (such as air). Motion is absolute, stillness is relative, and all objects in the universe are moving. When we say that an object is stationary, it must mean that it is stationary relative to a reference object.

Relative velocity:
Motion is absolute, stillness is relative, and all objects in the universe are moving. When we say that an object is stationary, it must mean that it is stationary relative to a reference object.

Calculating speed superposition at high speeds cannot simply add two speeds together. Newton's classical mechanics is a perfect approximation of the relativistic model at low macro speeds. The Galilean transformation is approximately true in the macro, low-speed, and weak gravitational field models, while the Lorentz transformation is used in the micro, high-speed, and strong gravitational field models. The theory of relativity holds that the speed of matter that carries energy and information cannot exceed the speed of light. Even if the speed of light and the speed of light are superimposed, the speed is still 1 times the speed of light. Lorentz's relative velocity formula: v = (v1 + v2) / (1 + v1v2 / c ^ 2).
