Physics: Calculating neutral velocity
Description
Let's now do the math to calculate the equal speed at which both A and B could be traveling away from a "neutral" observer.
Physics
Learn about the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. Solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry necessary.
Einstein velocity addition
You're traveling toward me at half the speed of light. My friend is traveling away from me at half the speed of light. From either of your points-of-view, how quickly are you approaching each other? Things are going to get even more fun now. We're going to think about relative velocities in different frames of reference.
