Class 11 Physics (India): Calculating relative velocity

How do we calculate the velocity of one object as seen by another object? In this video, we will intuitively figure out how to calculate relative velocities with some examples. We'll then write down the general expression for calculating relative velocity. Created by Mahesh Shenoy. 

Class 11 Physics (India)

Let's learn, practice, and master topics of class 11 physics (NCERT) starting with kinematics and then moving to dynamics with Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, and power. Let's then use these as the foundation to learn about centre of mass, rotational motion, gravitation, solids, fluids, thermodynamics, and oscillations and waves.

Relative velocity in 1D

Let's understand and learn how to solve problems involving relative motion and frames of reference when the motion happens on a straight line.
